 Found this while going thru my unidentified muscids. Quite striking with the completely golden front and face. Seems to be Coenosia and perhaps Coenosia (Coenosia) based on closely adjacent AD and A setae on hind tibiae.

Location is southwest Florida, USA. Size is 2.5 mm body length.

 Could this be the introduced Coenosia attenuata Stein?
