 Found above the shoreline at Alameda, San Francisco. Trawling through BugGuide it "looks like" Deopalpus hirsutus. Correct or something else?

 Well, both have the “Peleteria”- bristle, so might be a good start.
I guess Jihn can tell more.

 I think Peleteria (Sphyrimyia). The subgenus name is used in the checklists published by the CNC, not in other literature. In general species of Peleteria have 4 pairs of postsutural dorsocentrals while Deopalpus have 3 pairs. There is also Copecrypta with only a single strong parafacial bristle.

 Thank you Theo and John!!
BugGuide lists only 2 species under Peleteria (Sphyrimyia). Peleteria haemorrhoa and Peleteria anaxias! Of those I think this "should be" Peleteria anaxias as Peleteria haemorrhoa has a black triangle on the base of the fourth abdominal segment. My fly is missing that, as per the attached photo.

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
