Ocyptamus antiphates
This is Ocyptamus antiphates which can be found in Florida according to a reference on Systema Dipterorum. The specimen keys out to this in a key to Ocyptamus and it seems this species has a great deal of variation in color.

Diane...
I Thank you for your generous compliment, however, I do not concur.
You either have a magic monitor or its time for me to upgrade my equipment. Sincerely appreciate the kind words...

I don't have a magic monitor,
I don't have a magic monitor, but these are very nice pictures - both for ID purposes and for the very nice clarity and composition! I'm envious of your shots!
