I am attaching a couple photos of a fly seen in tropical dry forest on the island of St. Martin in the Lesser Antilles. There seem to be a number of distinguishing features, but I'm not sure where to start with the ID. Thanks in advance for any ideas! marcaumarc attached the following image:  [120.61Kb] Edited by marcaumarc on 22-04-2012 14:56 __________________ http://www.lesfruitsdemer.org |

Thanks, Sara, that definitely seems possible. Psilidae wasn't even on my radar.
