I've been finding these flies crawling around in the underbrush. Always moving, like they are hunting for something. I've had it on Bugguide for a week and no takers.. Anyone?

This is also a Tephritidae species, but the wiing patten is too different between this species and the one on the link, so I would say this is something closely related but different.

Whether the genus is OK, I do not know.
