24 April 2007, New Brunswick, Canada. Length 7mm.
Is this a Sciomyzidae? Can it be ID'd any further?

EDIT: was "Spikey Costa"

EDIT: Identified by Andrzej (22iv08), from genitalia. GENITALIA HERE

Unfortunely (for me), not Sciomyzidae.
Heleomyzidae, Heleomyzinae...

Thanks Nikita. So many similar-looking families. I guess the spiky costa is characteristic for some of the Heliomyzids.

Andrzej, what about this fly?
May be Morpholeria?
