This thing was creepy. It was windy, so they aren't good, but there's enough to get the point across...

...also, what kind of fly is this? It had a bulb-like abdomen with a few really coarse hairs sticking out of it, and it was the size of a bumble bee. I thought it was a horsefly, but not so sure. ...again, tough wind to shoot in today

The fly is probably a Tachinid and the first two pic could be a Ichneumonid Wasp. If you submit you images at Bugguide.net they will be identified.

I would have gone for Ichneumon too.

Did some search and these may be red-tailed ichneumon.
