Dolerus nitens

Dolerus nitens
Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada
April 29, 2006
Size: 9 mm Head to Wing Tips
I found this bug sitting on our concrete driveway at about 1:00 PM local time (NDT). He was not moving much. He would walk a short distance then stop. After I finished the photos, I prodded him a bit to see if he would fly but he did not; he merely walked away. It appears that he ought to be able fly but he didn't. Does anyone know the ID and if this bug can fly?
