Syrphid - Toxomerus geminatus - male

Syrphid - Toxomerus geminatus - Male
Shelby Township, Macomb County, Michigan, USA
August 17, 2009
Size: ~6mm
This shot is a bit more blurry, but does a good job of showing some identifying characteristics. After reading the descriptions in the info pages, I'm confident that this is Toxomerus geminatus. I guess I'm not confident enough to move it to species without confirmation, though. :-) I also think it is male.
