Sarcophaga sp.
These flies have red eyes and clear wings. Their thorax has alternating black and gray stripes that often look metallic. The black abdomen ends in a brownish-red tip and spiky hairs.
I spotted them mating on vegetation beside a large pond.
This genus consists of almost 80 species and spans the entire North American continent. So, I'm not sure what species this would be. Any help would be much appreciated.
