This is one Chrysotoxum species I am prepared to name.
This one was on my flowering Goldenrod. It had landed on the edge of the clump two or three paces away. I knew which genus it was, even at that distance. I turned toward it and it flew away.
It landed again but I could only get a rear view. As I moved around to get a side view it departed again.
Finally, it landed on a leaf just outside the Goldenrod path and let me take a couple of shots.
It has a light dusting of yellow pollen in places.

The first image is uncropped; I have taken some of the bottom of the second one.
