Diptera - Juriniopsis adusta

Diptera - Juriniopsis adusta
Green Lane, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
September 4, 2010
Size: 3/4" est.
6:00 PM, on mint, 70 deg. F, windy, clear
I'm certain this is a fly because it has one pair of wings, compound eyes, and I believe there are "halteres". I checked BG pics and can't get it any more specific than Diptera. The dorsal view is included only to show the wings - it should probably go into frass and is only posted in case it helps with ID.

Looks like Peleteria


Got anything that shows the face better (from the side)? Perhaps cropping this image would help.

 
Hi, Ron,
I added two pics - not added at first because of quality, but perhaps good enough to help.

 
I'm convinced it's Peleteria
That's based on other BG posts, including my own, and I'm no expert. I'd say you should leave your post here a couple of days and, receiving no objections, move it to Peleteria.

 
Thank you -
Barring any further ID info, I'll move it after the holiday weekend.

Tachninidae
Check in Tachinidae

 
That looks promising
I'm moving it to Tachinidae » Tachininae » Polideini » Hystricia - quite similar and the map shows it as being in PA in September.
