There is still lots of activity at the Sugar Maple tree, as unusual warm weather continues here. This fly was feeding on the sweet sap.

While it looks very similar to the one I posted a few days ago, the wing venation does seem different, and also the wing has some dark spots, for example on the cross veins, and elsewhere.

Photographed yesterday, woodlands, West Virginia USA.
