Yes. It looks like our L. obtusa (upturned bristles on gena and general hairiness), but I don't know what species you have in USA.

We have Leucophora obtusa here but I don't see enough to run this picture through the key to North American species (Huckett, 1940).

Is this a female?

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
