Silvius gigantulus ?

Quite a few of these were flying around in the forest area... in the Disc Golf Course. There were quite a few people around, so I bet they eat fairly well.

Moved from Silvius. There are a few other species of Silvius along the west coast, but all the others have either an elongated pedicel or patterned wings.
