Elaphropeza? I don't know how to identify species.

Thanks, John C.! Do you know if Bugguide considers that genus to be in Hybotidae or Empididae? I will post it over there as well...

In the classification by Sinclair and Cumming (2006) Tachydromiinae belongs to family Hybotidae. The simpler solution to the nomenclatural mess would have been to demote Dolichopodidae to a subfamily of Empididae, but nobody seems inclined to go along with that.
