syrphid fly - Toxomerus geminatus
Groton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
May 9, 2010
Size: 7.2mm bl
Found this fly as a teneral by sifting leaf litter at the edge of a wetland. It looks like Toxomerus marginatus, but seems a little large at 7.2mm not including the ovipositor.

Thanks Ron. I didn't look far enough.

Close. Toxomerus geminatus.
Male and female of this species have different abdomen shapes.
