Thanks Ron, I'll look back and see if I have any other pictures of this fly.

ReRevised ID: Allograpta sp.

Tom, sorry for any confusion, but I blew this call. Based on this image, fly could be either A. obliqua or A. exotica. A view of the face or possibly side could get it back to species.

My pleasure, Tom.

I'm beginning to realize that the Common Oblique Syrphid is a lot less common than I'd once thought!

Revised ID: Allograpta exotica

White face with black stripe distinguishes this from the nearly identical A. obliqua.
