fly - Gonia

fly - Gonia
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
April 2, 2011
Size: ~10mm
Temperature was below 50F when I found this fly clinging to a twig. If it had been warmer, I doubt that it would have been so cooperative in posing. About the same size as flies in the genus Archytas which is what I thought it was at first but now I'm not so sure.
