Thanks very much for the ID on this neat little fly. Since I am in Illinois that should make it S. pallipes.
I thought I detected a resmblance to my only other member of this family, the larger Macroceromys americana.

Is it possible, when I forget to check the notify box to do so later? I saw no opportunity in the edit.

You should be able to check the option when you just read the thread. No need to edit a post.
