Very similar to a White-faced Ringed Fly - Archytas metallicus - Cass County, Texas, USA November 12, 2007 Size: 6 - 8 mm
This Fly is very similar to a White-faced Ringed Fly but the abdomen of this one was much more bulbous and almost black. I saw no rings and I didn't even notice the reddish colors on it's abdomen until I looked at the image on the PC. This one is also noticeably larger and makes a very loud buzzing noise as it flies.
