Thanks for the help. Found on July 29 on a sunny day in my yard in Houston, Texas, USA.

It's not Lauxania (arista should be white then).

It doesn't look like any of the European lauxanid genera, but the diversity of Lauxanidae is higher in the new world

With no locality info, I'll assume it is from the West Indies. The lauxaniid species is probably Neodeceia exul (Williston) - definitely Neodeceia in any case.
