Golden Dung fly
by: Moni

Scott
Your photo is of a golden dung fly.
It may be an adult male since they are bright yellow or golden while females are usually grayer. Both sexes are very hairy on the body and legs.
They are found throughout North America.
The larvae found in/on dung of domestic and wild animals, while the adults are found nearby which can be just about anywhere - pastures, meadows, woodlands, parks, gardens, etc.
Adults prey on other fly species tho will prey on other insects.

Here are images of this fly on bugguide.net
