Moved
Moved from Sepsisoma.

Moved
Moved from Black Scavenger Flies. It's not Sepsisoma flavescens. I'm not sure which of the others it is.

 
Thank you.
Can you tell, male or female?

 
Male?
I think it's male. I don't see the oviscape of a female Tephritoidea.

Strange
I can't place it as Sepsidae. Cephalia is vaguely similar but I don't think that's it either. Did you keep the specimen?

 
Not only did I save it
I just found it. May I send it to someone for a closer look, perhaps an ID and maybe for a better collection than mine?
