Fly found in Houston, Texas, USA. April 14 2015. Collected and photographed (first 2 photos) by John Schneider.

Existing keys are >100 years old and out-of-time. I need to see the pictures of some types I keep at home, which will be available after my trip.

Sorry for the delay.
Speaking strictly for me we both could have die then and there (JCool
It is Stenomyia sp. near tenuis, but it clearly differs in its wing pattern. May be a pattern variation, may be a new species or a South American invider
