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.

I'll move it

Chrysops sequax maybe

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

… Donald S. Chandler, 3 July, 2006 - 12:27pm

Definitely neither

of the 2 species you name!
shermani has a 'diluted' wing pattern; in vittatus the hyaline triangle does not reach wing margin.
