Good work
I was going to volunteer the family, Sciomyzidae, but you have managed to take it beyond that already. Looks like a good match with D. umbrarum to me, now that you mention it. Nice work!

Thank you.
Thanks for confirming!

We have no page on BugGuide so I will move it to Dictya.

If anybody has any supporting or conflicting information, please feel free to comment.
