Would really appreciate help with this small fly (~4 mm). I can't even figure out the family. Ephydridae? Lauxaniidae? Ulidiidae? Something entirely different? Found in late August in the Chiricahua mountains of Southeastern Arizona, USA.

Thanks!

Better view of the wing.

Somewhere in Ephydridae.

I think this is Melanomyza or near in Lauxaniidae.
