Angus:

This is another Syrphidae or flower or hover fly.

Someone pointed out Jeff Skevington's website on the Canacoll website =
(associated with the Canadian National Colelctin of Insects, Agriculture =
Canada in Ottawa).  It has some great photos by Jeff and Steve Marshall =
as well as identification notes for many (but not all) genera of =
Syrphidae.

Eric Georgeson, recently retired form NSDNR, had a big interst in Nova =
Scotia Syrphidae.  I am sure he would know what species this is.

Once Chris Majka gets through the beetles of NS, he will be able to id =
all these flies as well.

The abdomen suggests a Robber Fly but the wings appear too small/frail.

Thanks,
