Why is it color green? Update, looked for hours multiple days after the 13th of August in Oak Openings with no luck, as I figured. Sent photos to some universities trying to gain some knowledge.

We came across this mating pair hovering in a "sun-speck" along the creek-adjacent, woodland trail/road though Mitchell Canyon. To the naked eye it wasn't entirely clear what it was, though I thought I could make out a foamy "nuptial gift" (suggesting a balloon-bearing empidid).
However, I didn't realize it was a mating pair until zooming-in on a photo on the camera display. We observed the two in (roughly) "stationary hover" for over two minutes...don't know how long they were hovering before we noticed them.
After posting this, I noticed @kueda made a very similar observation very nearby about 9 years earlier (with nice accompanying info, and a wonderfully sharp image!)...as did @abmdjoe about 3 weeks earlier here. Seems there's a stable population in the area :-).

A mating pair, I suppose -- though my first impression was predation. Perched on a Rubus leaf in the marshy bottoms of Bogus Run. With yellow legs, black antennae, dark wings, and additional body markings one would think these would be identifiable at least to genus. But I didn't find a photo that looked to be a good match, nor any reference to this curious behavior. Medium-sized sawflies.

Tiny hover fly in a Venus' looking glass flower at Yonahlossee Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is the only picture I have of this fly so it may be impossible to identify to species.
