This one was collected from a mangrove forest. It's quite a common species in that habitat.

I'm inclined to think that it is an Anthomyia plumiseta, but as far as I can tell it lacks the hairs on the underside of the scutellum of Anthomyiidae. But then again I have been wrong about this character before.
