Hello John,

I found neotropical keys which indicate that the mesonotum is shiny black for halteralis.

I think that it is L. latipes but i'm certainly not an expert. I have a male with enlarged hind tibia so it is easier for me to id my specimen. My specimen also has yellow rings on the tibiae. Photo attached of a male but the enlarged hind tibiae is not visible in this photo.

i have extension tubes on a pro 1:1 macro but i'm still unable to capture small flies well. I guess i need a pro camera (with a crop sensor?) too.

Paul may be able to confirm the id...

Best wishes,
John
