Cows nearby?
Are there cows nearby? This might be a Neomyia that develops in cow pies.

Yes
The farmfield next to my yard is used seasonally as a pasture. (Or, more accurately, it was in 2009... now there is a new house there.)

Rescued from frass
Not wishing to contribute to a glut of "UFOs" (Unidentifiable Fly-like Organisms), I had decided to discard this image after the passing of several days without identification. I understand that not all species (especially flies) can be identified from photos, so thanks for the ID that rescued this one from Frass!
