Looks like the ubiquitous and variable Anthrax varicolor.

Anthrax?

Interesting, Harsi
Looks like the eastern fly, but not Hartmut's westerner. Hope Joel comments!

(On a separate topic, I emailed you yesterday to note a problem with getting Bug Guide subscription info sent to me. Did you get it? Now I'm wondering if Yahoo is the culprit.)

Looks like you've got a problem... :-(
I did get your e-mail and responded to you in short order. Seems the problem is with your actual e-mail, not just on the BugGuide end of things...
