Thanks.

Dear Odophile,
We are guessing this was shot in the same location as your Argiopes, near San Francisco. We will try to get Eric Eaton to provide and identification. Eric quickly supplied the following information: ” The fly is a male (eyes meet at top of head) Syrphid of some kind. Need more images to even entertain a genus.”
