  Flies can be nearly impossible to ID and the BugGuide folks mostly don't even want to deal with them... they are still neat though.. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

    The dark head is throwing me off. At first, I thought Phaonia or Homoneura, but can't find matches in either genus. Maybe something similar in Muscidae > Phaoniinae or Lauxaniidae? Posted 2 years ago

      Had the same issue, many with orange bodies but few to none with a dark head. Posted 2 years ago
