A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

Archytas sp.
Large fly with spiky hairs on the all shiny black abdomen. Gray fuzzy thorax and sark eyes. A brown tinge at the base of the wings, rest of wings clear.
The bloom is of a silver and gold groundcover, Ajania pacifica. It has bright golden-yellow button-like flowers that adorn the plant in late fall.
Thanks; my fly knowledge is very small. Trying to learn more, but butterflies keep distracting my camera.
