Chrysops sequax Williston
The specimen shown is probably Chrysops sequax Williston. The wing pattern is right and Arkansas is within the distribution range of the species. The wing pattern is distinctive.

Chrysops sequax maybe
John Burger was wandering by and says maybe C. sequax.

Definitely neither
of the 2 species you name!
shermani has a 'diluted' wing pattern; in vittatus the hyaline triangle does not reach wing margin.
