Small bee fly - Isn't it Geron? - Geron

Small bee fly - Isn't it Geron? - Geron
Riley Wilderness Park, Coto De Caza, Orange County, California, USA
September 4, 2006
Size: ~5mm
Temperature hit 103, and there wasn't much (hot) insect action. A fair number of bee flies were out, and I saw these tiny tapered guys in the same area. Flowers are freshly blooming, providing food now that the buckwheat has mostly gone brown.

Great; Thanks, Keith.
Before getting the photo into the computer, I'd thought "Geron" but am not sure.
