Gray Fly - male

Gray Fly - Male
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA
April 11, 2009
Size: approx. 1/2"
This fly was present with several other fly species on a grape vine oozing sap. We think this might be a male because the eyes are touching on the top of the head. We appreciate any help with ID of this fly.

Thanks,

Loren and Babs Padelford
Bellevue, NE
