hovering flies - Hybomitra hinei
Idylwild wildlife management area, Caroline County, Maryland, USA
June 13, 2020
Size: 2 cm?
Never saw these guys land; they hovered continuously in the sun about a foot off the ground. I'm guessing horse flies of some sort? In dry mixed coniferous/deciduous forest with sandy soil, ponds, and wetlands.
