 I really liked this fly and took several photos of it. Only when I got home did I realize they were all of the same angle! No lateral shot and no dorsal shot. Too bad!

Maybe someone will recognize the face. Family Ephedridae maybe?

 Hi Stephen -
I'm not that familiar with the Nearctic species, but I think this is Paralimna (Ephydridae).
