Small atypical Tachinid Fly - genus Cylindromyia
This is a small atypical Tachinid Fly in the family Tachinidae of the Diptera - probably genus Cylindromyia and maybe species Cylindromyia intermedia. It's working mint flowers in the garden. It does have a bristly abdomen like many other tachinids. I have another recent photo here. I got this photo a week ago. I try to keep these photos more current, but sometimes I fall behind and don't want to lose a good shot. (San Marcos Pass, 13 August 2017)
