I was hoping that this fly could be identified. It was found sunning itself on the wall of my house. It seems to be active all year round here in Seattle, Washington state (U.S.A.). It is about 1cm long, greenish-grey, and has a little bit of a marking on each wing. (A little line...I don't know which cell(s) or veins...)
I have had trouble getting the picture to show when I've tried posting here before. If this doesn't work, can I perhaps email it somewhere?
The photo was taken February 2, 2007.

Sunny, cool and near a rose bush.

The first two photos are of a
Phaonia species (family Muscidae). This is a very large genus in the northern temperate zone. The 3rd one is a slender muscid or robust anthomyiid. No. 4 & 5 are probably the same species as 1&2.
