Not a great image, but I'm just trying to get atleast a family level ID for most of my unID'd flies. Frassable afterwards.

family
I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to my email notifications, but it looks like you've managed to get this one to family level after all. Thanks =v=! :)

sorry Chris---
as i've found out the hard way, these guys, so distinct-looking, hardly ever get past Muscoidea (options usually being Muscidae v Anthophoridae)
so be prepared to never see your 'at least' target reached :-/

re:
Heh, thanks for letting me know =v=. Flies are such a deceptive group, I guess I can live with the fact that I won't be able to ID all of them to my target taxon. But I won't stop shooting them!
