Looks right for Dictya

or at least Sciomyzidae. I'll ask Bill Murphy to take a look. He might be interested in the specimen.

Thanks Brad!

Just curious, does the genitalia examination involve dissection?

… John Rosenfeld, 24 February, 2014 - 7:55pm

Yes I believe so

If you are interested in getting the species ID, drop Bill an email. I'm sure he'd be happy to identify it for you.
