Additional comment on the Bee Fly
I have followed up on your comment and did some additional, on-line research. I have found that the ones that I photographed look very similar to: Heteralonia rivularis

Perhaps, I can get confirmation on this ... or on another species.

Thank you!
Larry

Well...
...I don't think it's H. rivularis, as that species does not appear to occur in North America. If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like something in the neighborhood of Exoprosopa fasciata:



But that's strictly a guess, and could be way off. We'll need to wait to hear from the experts.

Exoprosopa fasciata ... That looks like it
Thanks again Ken. Yes, that looks like it. Let's see if we get some other input from the experts.
