[COLOR="Blue"]I think this may be in the same species as this Deer Fly or a Horse Fly

Great job Mrvile on identifying it, I took out all the info I had posted since it was no longer relevant. :)
And that way it didn't take up so much room.

It's actually still a member of the syrphid family, which means it's closely related to hoverflies and the sort. The eyes are really cool, and this particular one is an Eristalinus taeniops.
