I'd suggest a Pterogramma sp., you can try and check Smith & Marshall, 2004 (Contributions in Science, 499)

There is a similar genus Robustagramma.

Manual of Central American Diptera includes a key to all described genera of neotropical Sphaeroceridae. In addition to the key there, I can point you to Joel Kits' comment on BugGuide: http://bugguide.n...231/bgpage.
