Sinuous Bee Fly (Hemipenthes sinuosa)
One of the many larger bee flies that frequent flowers and eat nectar (and maybe pollen). Many of the bee flies have a long proboscis but this species does not.
"Sinuous" is based in Latin and refers to the wavy, undulating border formed by the black area on the fly's wings.
