tachinid fly

Gonia sp.

Habitat:

Eagerly seeming to feed on GARLIC MUSTARD, one of those weeds we are supposed to kill. This is the ONLY abundant food source in my garden right now and many species of flies and bees are ALL OVER IT! I will no longer weed these "weeds". WEEDS FEED NATIVE POLLINATORS!

This neat fly looks like a type of Tachinid. There are a couple that have light heads. Here is a link: http://bugguide.net/node/view/197/bgpage...
