CLOSED: Wasp Mimic?

Benton County, MO(Zone 5a)

These guys are plentiful this time of the year and they look like a wasp, but I am thinking they could be some sort of mimic? They have a very loud humming sound and tend to hover. What could he be?

Sorry the picture is so bad. It was the best I could do. He had landed there and I got the picture as fast as I could.

I am a dummy! I should have looked around a little more before posting this. It's a Yellowjacket Hover Fly!

I am marking this as solved. :-)
