Bee fly - Systoechus

Bee fly - Systoechus
Stampede Reservoir, Nevada County, California, USA
June 8, 2012
Saw several of these blond fuzzy bee flies while walking out to Stampede Reservoir. Skimming the guide brought me to Systoechus. Can someone confirm or point me in the right direction if I am way off?

Systoechus is correct. I suspect this is S. fumipennis, but not enough characters are visible to clinch the ID.

Moved from Bee Flies.

 
Thanks
Now I am really kicking myself that I could not get more shots.
