 This fly measured 4.1 mm and was photographed near some small flowers in the mint family, growing at the edge of the forest.

Ephydridae maybe?

West Virginia USA, 21 April 2007.

Thanks in advance for any ID help!

 long arista is ok for Ephydridae.
I would go for Ephydridae as well.

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
