Not sure what is going on with this fly's wings, is it recently emerged and the wings haven't expanded yet?

Is this something like Heteropogon sp.?

Stephen,

This is a teneral Atomosia sp., probably either sayii or rufipes (assuming that it is from the SE US).

Thanks so much, Eric. & Sorry I forgot the data. This was from around my house, Upshur County, West Virginia. Date was 11 August 2009, size not recorded. My first Atomosia!
