unknown fly - Mycetaulus

Moved

Moved from Cheese skippers and kin. It looked to me like Mycetaulus when I first saw it, but I couldn't key it out. Thank you Dr. Korneyev for the ID and Mr. McDonald for contributing the fly.

Mycetaulus sp.

I am not an expert of the NA Piophilidae, but it looks like many other Mycetaulus spp. I collected mainly on old, autolyzed and stinky mushrooms...

Thank you Dr. Lorneyev

for assigning this specimen to a genus.

the venation

is wrong for ulidiidae; I'm more confident with Piophilidae.

Looks and Behaves Similar to a Picture Wing Fly

Similar, but not the exactly the same as these -- see what you think.

A bit of a puzzler.

Acts like and somewhat resembles a Boatman Fly (Pogonortalis doclea), but looks different enough to be something else.

Wing pattern, in particular, is different.
