Syrphid Fly

Ocyptamus fuscipennis (Say 1823), I believe. Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge in east-central Kansas. Coffey County, Kansas, USA.

 

Alighted on low stem facing downward. Floodplain hardwood forest. Pretty windy conditions. Eventually folded its wings over its back.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
