Susan, it is Scathophagidae, but not Norellisoma. It is fly with 4 setas on scutellum, so most probably it is Scathophaga or Cordilura.

Oh - OK. All the
Cordilura I can find seem too dark for this fly. Is
Scathophaga inquinata a possibility?
S furcata is the only Scathophagid listed for the site this fly came from, apart from
S stercoraria, but the site list is pretty incomplete (no Muscids, no Anthos, only one Tachinid, for instance), and I think
S furcata is also too dark. I have ruled out
S stercoria because the antennae are orange, not black - that is right isn't it?
