After my first Micropezidae post ended up not being a Micropezid, I was determined to find one. Luckily, this fly showed up at my mercury vapor lamp. I am reasonably certain of the ID unless there are some look-alike families. Length 10 mm. Photographed at lights, early a.m. of 1 October 2006. ID comments appreciated.

More detail, leaving off those long legs.

Here's a lateral view of the head and thorax.

No doubt, that's a Micropezid. Rainieria antennaepes?
