gray picture-winged fly - Pseudotephritina

gray picture-winged fly - Pseudotephritina
Clear Creek WMA, Allamakee County, Iowa, USA
June 20, 2020
Size: ~5 mm
I wonder if this picture-winged fly is in the Genus Pseudotephritina? It looked like a good match but I notice that Pseudotephritina has not been reported to BugGuide from Iowa before.

Pseudotephritina
Thanks so much for identifying this picture-winged fly as being Pseudotephritina, Spencer! It's nice to see Pseudotephritina added to Iowa on BugGuide's distribution map.
