I really liked this fly and took several photos of it. Only when I got home did I realize they were all of the same angle! No lateral shot and no dorsal shot. Too bad!

Maybe someone will recognize the face. Family Ephedridae maybe?

Hi Stephen -
I'm not that familiar with the Nearctic species, but I think this is Paralimna (Ephydridae).

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
