Wasp mimicing fly? - Eudioctria
Fort Frederick State Park, Washington County, Maryland, USA
June 9, 2018
I presume this is a fly given the large eyes and short antenna. But not even sure of family. Photo taken in a wooded area near water. Hope someone can get this to species level or close.

Robber Fly
This might be Eudioctria tibialis. (...probably a male, with the base of the wings lightened) Hold on for an expert.
