Have I got this right, Syrphidae: Rhingia nasica?

I came up with this ID using a photo that did not show the "nose" well. Then I discovered I also had this picture of the same fly, that shows the "nose" much better, so I now feel more confident with the ID.

Confirmation or correction would be appreciated!

Yes, this is Rhingia, and as you only have the one species in the US, it must be nasica! Smile

Ah, these one species genera do make life easier. Thanks, Tony!

P.S. Safe to say this is a male?
