I'm not entirely sure about this one, maybe Lycosimyia. L. carrerae is known from Rio de Janeiro, but the leg coloration does not match. I have not seen a photo of Lycosimyia so it is difficult to be certain

Thanks for taking a look Chris.
Eric identified
this one as Lycosimyia. Not sure how much antennal structure variation there might be within the genus.
On my
other submission of what I think is the same species as this one, Eric stated a microscope was needed for ID. I was hoping a more close-in shot would suffice.
Thanks again for your efforts and have a Happy New Year!
