Other speckled flies besides Trypetisoma? - Platystoma seminationis

Other speckled flies besides Trypetisoma? - Platystoma seminationis
Naperville, Dupage County, Illinois, USA
June 4, 2020
Size: ~7mm
Closest images I found to this fly were under Trypetisoma. However, those had yellow legs and a white dot either on the very tip of the wings or (more rarely) running along the edge. I'm seeing quite a few of these recently but "mine" have black legs, and the white dots are not placed like the Trypetisoma. What are these? (Thanks!)

Platystoma is an exact match.

It sure is - thanks!!
(Is it ok if I post it there? Or does a bug person need to do that?)
