Neat find! This looks like a type of Syrphid Fly. I am not sure which species this is at this time, but here is a link that may help: http://bugguide.net/node/view/196/bgpage Agapostemon virescens has a distinctly metallic green head and thorax and a black and white striped abdomen. You can compare it to your fly here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/21858
