Platystomatid - Senopterina foxleei
buffalo national river, newton County, Arkansas, USA
April 29, 2007
Size: ~12mm
two days and over twenty miles of hiking, and this soldier fly would not let me get a good picture of it... Cephalochrysa was the closest thing i could find on the site.

foxleei?
If this is Senopterina the relatively unmarked wings and black palps should make it S. foxleei.

This reminds me of Conopidae: Thecophora... are you certain this was a stratiomyid?

Hmm
I think Zodion in the Conopidae have scutellar spines. But the antenna look wrong.
