Fly with wingflaps - Euthera tentatrix

Fly with wingflaps - Euthera tentatrix
Harvard, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA
August 20, 2008
Size: about 5mm
This fly was being carried by a wasp trying to go down it's burrow, when I intervened and the wasp dropped the fly and flew off. I waited a while, but the wasp didn't come back, so I don't know what the wasp was.

Thanks Keith
Those spiky hairs on the end of the abdomen made me think tachinid, but it looks different than the ones I've seen so far.
