Greetings

 
Thank you
for giving me a starting point in my quest to identify these plentiful flies in my yard, Gerard.

 
Genus Archytas?
Poking through the guide, I came across this page http://bugguide.net/node/view/21091
My fly looks similar to me (but I am definitely not even remotely an expert).
