Hi Stephen
I misidentified this female crane fly earlier. It is not Nephrotoma virescens. It is Nephrotoma occipitalis. I failed to notice the dark triangular area between the eyes. New for the Bugguide - Chen

A different species?
Hmm, how did you tell that this one differs from the other Nephrotoma?
