Eristalis, but I can't get it to species.
Same goes for your other fly. If you have loads more, the OC natural history may help you ID and/or screen quickly:

Thanks.
Thanks. I use that site a lot. I have been inspired by it and I am trying to do something similar for my neighborhood. It helps me learn and observe. I am sitlll getting stuck on some like these. I appreciate the confirmation to genus.

Thanks - my link
Thanks, I will email him.
I am working on my flies today. I started photographing insects a couple of years ago and have recently gotten into trying to identify them. I was inspired by that site and am now somewhat hooked on it.
This is a work in progress. I welcome comments.
