In Vancouver on the beach, British Columbia, Canada, 5 July 2009. This fly was walking over seaweed and sea shells. Can someone tell me the family?

Fucellia apicalis - note darkened tip of wing to which the name refers

No one has picked this up. I did not receive a reply from the author.

I have not found any record of Fucellia apicalis in North America. Huckett (1965) listed Fucellia pictipennis from northern Canada with similar wing marking. Apicalis was described from China in 1908 and pictipennis from Greenland in 1907. Is apicalis the correct name for Pacific populations previously misidentified as pictipennis?

John, well, no one has chimed in on this. The Stone catalog of North American diptera does not list apicalis, and you're right, the range of pictipennis comes near: Alaska, Yukon, NWT. The photo of F. pictipennis at BOLD seems a bit different. Maybe safest just to say Fucellia sp. unless you have some literature on the genus. Thanks for pointing this out, I will check to make sure my pics in the diptera.info gallery and BG are okay on this.
