yes, sure that this is Sepsidae.
I would say a Sepsis sp. with that spot in wing. Let's go wait for confirmation. :)

Yes, Jorge, it is Sepsis OK.
Early season, yellow legs, general jizz and especialy only 1 pair of dc bristles point to S. punctum.

not sure, but I can see a preapical bristle in tibia. M vein not hard bent as it happens, I think (not sure), with Ulidiidae fly.
fix me if I am getting wrong the main characters for distinguish between Sepsidae / Ulidiidae.

1. I forgot to say that it is female.
2. Jorge, I think that the only Ulidiidae which reminds Sepsis is Seioptera vibrans, but we have Sieoptera in Gallery.
