Syrphid with intricate eye pattern - Orthonevra flukei - Male
Santiago Oaks Regional Park, Orange, Orange County, California, USA
May 4, 2008
Size: ~5mm
I photographed one of this genus previously. This specimen had lighter, pinker eyes. A future goal, when I'm more mobile, is to get a head-on shot.
