I found these flies on shagbark hickory trees. 9mm long, 15mm wingspan. Can anyone ID these?

his surely is a snipe fly of the genus Rhagio. The same beasty came up on BugGuide a few times, but I have not been able to put a species name on it. They often sit with their heads down on tree trunks.

Snipe fly, eh? Very cool. Yeah, they sit head-down. Thanks!
I think the the species is Rhagio mystaceus.
