Milesia virginiensis
It's my understanding that this is called a Virginia Flower Fly-Milesia virginiensis; Family: Syrphidae, Order: Diptera. Are you saying I am incorrect on it's identity or that I put it in the wrong location?
Thank you

Your ID's good
Sorry if I was unclear. If you are sure of your find, you need not post to ID request, but can go right to the appropriate guide page, which you can find in a search. Here, Beatriz has moved it for you.
