Eristalinus taeniops
Bee mimicking fly with striped eyes. The wings are clear but dark-veined. The second image shows it cleaning its eye while drinking.
African daisy flower on hillside in backyard.
This fly is not from the US but is sometimes found in California and Florida. This is my third time seeing this fly on our property this year.
