Cactus fly - Odontoloxozus longicornis

Cactus fly - Odontoloxozus longicornis
Southwestern quarter of Hidalgo County, north of FM2221, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
March 16, 2003
Found on decaying scat. Possibly Odontoloxozus longicornis?

yes
you're right. The only other species of N. American Neriidae is Glyphidops flavifrons, and it has much rounder antennae. You might want to crop your image more as only you and editors can click on it for the full size image.

Looks right to me, but I'm no expert.
I've photographed several, tho. Yours looks most like Stephen's, right down to the posture.
