Large fly with spotted wing and white on abdomen - Xenox tigrinus
Walpole, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA

This large fly with spotted wings landed on a leather glove and refused to move from it. Note the symmetric white triangles on the end of the abdominal segments. Can you identify the sex also?
