Phaonia?
I had some better images of this species ID'd as Phaonia species (see http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=4860#post_22275 on Diptera.info...
Perhaps a new guide page is warranted?

I am inclined to believe that this is Anthomyiidae
please see .

Not only is this fly from my neck of the woods, it looks extremely similar to my photo. Even down to the wing venation and the markings on the abdomen.
