Chris, I think it is Cyzenis albicans.

Well, it seems it has only one proclinate or. (1st picture) + habitus + typical spring species too.
Lypha dubia has a more concave deflection of vein m, not so large antennae, several strong ad on mid tibia, and a bronze tinge, usually.

Thanks Stephane ... as specimens I have no problem (especially since I found that Lypha is in the Polideini in the USA) but in photos I always have trouble because I see them so rarely in the field. Smile

"Gestalt" Chris, "Gestalt"! Wink
Cyzenis albicans, no doubt. The season is far here in Hessen. I´ve gotten Kirbya moerens, Phryno vetula, Cyzenis jucunda, Tachina lurida and Lypha dubia by now.

Happy Easter!
