This fly measured 4.1 mm and was photographed near some small flowers in the mint family, growing at the edge of the forest. Ephydridae maybe? West Virginia USA, 21 April 2007. Thanks in advance for any ID help! Stephen attached the following image:  [83.7Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

long arista is ok for Ephydridae. I would go for Ephydridae as well. |
