Oxysarcodexia or Ravinia. Seems like wing tegula is black in which case it is Oxysarcodexia.

Thank-you
Thomas, Thank-you for your help with this and several others of my fly photographs!

I am not sure exactly which structure is the tegula, but I am posting an enlarged picture of the wing bases in case that may help clarify the identity of this pair of flies.
