This fly was on the Pacific Ocean beach, northern Oregon, USA.
13 May 2007.
5.1 mm to apex of wing.
Can someone please tell me what family?

My guess - Fucellia, Anthomyiidae

Thank-you Nikita! I was so far from my mountain home all the flies looked unfamiliar. But of course I have problems with fly ID at home, too!
