Moved...nice post Ilona!
Moved from Platypezinae.

Wing venation is admirably clear (especially in 3rd image)...and it's sufficient to key this unequivocally to the (former) genus Plesioclythia in both the MND(1) and in Kessel & Maggionalda (1968). Plesioclythia had four nearctic species (see info page)...of which only one, flavicornus, is known from the eastern U.S. (including WI). The entire genus was subsumed within Lindneromyia in 1994.

Wish these images were a bit larger...as they show the interesting (platypezid) morphology of the hind tarsi better than most posts. But still very nice to have them.

Moved
Moved from Flat-footed Flies.

If I disregard the relative sizes of tarsomeres and exclude genera based on recorded range, it is Platypeza.

Platypezidae
Moved from Flies.

Might try to key it out to genus later.
