It has a complete subcosta, so not Ephydroidea. |

Postpronotum with two bristles? Try Protopiophila. |

Indeed, it appears to be Pelomyia occidentalis. It guess I knw in the back of my head that Canacidae do occur inland, away from coastal habitats. That teaches me to rely on preconception too much.
