Thick-headed fly - Stylogaster neglecta
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
August 21, 2005
Size: small, about 1 cm
This fly was nectaring on Buddleia. It jumped around alot - this was the best image I could get. It flew with it's abdomen straight, and then curled it on landing. Anyone know what it is?

Thick-headed Fly
Family Conopidae. There's only two species of Stylogaster in North America, and I never did find out which species this pair was (same as thumbnail below). Yours looks the same as the female pictured.
