Lauxaniidae...
I should probably know better than to guess when it comes to Diptera.

Not that I'm likely to stop, mind you... It's how I learn, and I can always count on the real experts to set set me straight. :)

Guessing just for fun
until a fly expert happens by...

Something in the Anthomyiidae, maybe?
