Syrphid Fly Larva - Epistrophella emarginata
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina, USA

I went back to the same place and got this shot. Maybe the black trail of stuff and the fact that it's headed toward aphids will help. I also noticed that is was very flat today.

Syrphidae.
Well, all the evidence sure does point to a syrphid fly larva of some sort. I'd welcome additional opinions, though:-)
