Small flower fly - Geron

Small flower fly - Geron
South Mountain, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
August 13, 2010
Size: 6 mm
This one is taking nectar at Menodora scabra (Oleaceae). I am wild guessing it is one of the small bombyliidae.

Thanks, Ron!

Agree with Bombyliidae
Bears a resemblance to Geron:



But that's just a guess on my part. You'll want to wait for expert confirmation/correction.

 
Yes, it's Geron
