Moved--thanks
Moved from Dung Flies. Oh, thanks, Keith. Looking at our images here, it looks like the many other images identified as Suillia, so I've gone ahead and moved it there, perhaps foolishly.

i would feel more confident
calling this Heleomyzidae possibly Suillia sp. Scathophaga has more head bristles and a more clear costal break.
