Hi Nancy,=0A=0AYour fly is certainly a syrphid. It is Eristalis transversa.=
 The opaque yellow scutellum (the yellow bulb at the hind end of the thorax=
) separates this species from others in the genus. Take a look at=A0http://=
www.canacoll.org/Diptera/Staff/Skevington/Syrphidae/speciespages.htm. There=
 you can navigate to the species to see diagnostic characters pointed out, =
and you can look at other Eristalis species and other syrphid species that =
occur in eastern North America.=0A=0ACheers,=0AJohn=0A=0A=0A=0AOn Thursday,=
