Thanks! Should I edit the sub
Thanks! Should I edit the subject line to read the ID rather than "unknown fly"?

Not necessarily.
You can edit the title to say just fly if you like, but the scientific name shows up automatically on pictures we move to the guide. Sometimes it's helpful to see what the original guess was - if you edit titles to reflect IDs made, the accompanying comments often seem redundant.
