Bombylius major
Large brown fuzzy flies that mimic bumblebees. Dark wings with lower half transparent. The long rigid proboscis collects nectar.
Spotted in the backyard on a sunny day.

Mine is being neglected, although I'm happy to be working.
Thank you, Neil. My backyard is getting a lot more attention these days!
That's amazing.
