John, well, no one has chimed in on this. The Stone catalog of North American diptera does not list apicalis, and you're right, the range of pictipennis comes near: Alaska, Yukon, NWT. The photo of F. pictipennis at BOLD seems a bit different. Maybe safest just to say Fucellia sp. unless you have some literature on the genus. Thanks for pointing this out, I will check to make sure my pics in the diptera.info gallery and BG are okay on this.
