I photographed this fly yesterday near Chicago IL USA. About 10 mm long. White hairy fringe along sides of abdomen. Anyone? Thanks!

It is a bombyliid, a bee fly. I will try to dig up some more tomorrow.

The only genus I can find that matches all the characters I can see in the picture is
Aldrichia. Unfortunately, I cannot find any pictures of it here.

Thanks, Paul. I cannot find any pictures of that genus, either - nothing even remotely similar. <sigh>. Have you had any luck?
