Hi Darcey, welcome to Project Noah! Since you have the plant category selected, it looks like this spotting is focusing on the plant. You have correctly identified it as Ceanothus. You can enter Ceanothus sp. in the scientific category if you don't know which species. If you want an ID for the Bee Fly, you can submit the same images in a different spotting and select the arthropod category. :)
