Tiger Flies - Coenosia

Tiger Flies - Coenosia
Greenville, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA
July 1, 2010
Size: ~⅝"
It is this photo that causes me to wonder what species of fly this is. This is due to is light blue appearance and lack of any darker colors. But the two overhead views (one with flash, one without) look pretty common to me. Although I'm still asking for an ID please!

Looks like the ones we call Coenosia (which may or may not really be that genus).
