Thanks for the posting -a nice addition to BG. This is a very common fly from SE AZ. It could be either E. parda, or E. bifurca, both in the E. fasciata group. I can't cinch it with shots like these; we would need to look closely at a few microscope characters, but I am leaning toward parda. I don't think there's anything wrong with placing it there, as long as it's noted that the ID is tentative.

Thanks Andy
I couldn't find a page for E. parda and E. bifurca has a page but no images. Perhaps I should just move it to the E. Fasciata group for now, unless you think it's definitive enough to create a new page for E. parda.

I really can't tell which it is right now. Just place it to sp group.
