Female Gray Fly? - Female
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA
April 11, 2009
Size: approx. 1/2"
We think this might be a female of the same species as photo #265304, 6 and 7. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Muscid...
This is also a muscid fly, a different species than the ones you mentioned, a female is correct.
