Update: ID'd to
Earomyia aberrans by Iain MacGown through dissection of genitalia. Thanks Iain!
This one appears to key out to
Earomyia using the Manual of the Nearctic Diptera. In the
Lonchaeidae Online key it resolves to couplet 5,
Earomyia vs.
Fulgenta, but the key says that latter is "Afrotropical only". One caveat is that the
Lonchaeidae Online key describes
Earomyia as "arista usually bare" but I'd call this fly's arista pubescent.
body length ~ 4mm
Thanks for the help
