Dioprosopa clavata? - Baccha cognata
Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve, near Half-Moon Bay, San Mateo County, California, USA
August 24, 2014
Size: Unknown
This fly was perched on a leaf around eye level and moved around quite frequently. I believe it's a syrphid fly (wasp mimic) but would definitely appreciate confirmation. Thanks!

I think syrphid is a safe bet
I think syrphid is a safe bet. May not be D. clavata, but hopefully someone else will say for sure.
