Beautiful shots of a beautiful conopid, Gary.
This is clearly in the genus
Physocephala
from the basally swollen hind femora and position of cross vein r-m relative to the discal cell. It also appears to lack ocelli. Moreover, it clearly keys to species
P. burgessi
. For more details & refs...see comments at post below:
