I got this dance fly to genus Empis by virtue of wing venation. Can any of you folks tell what subgenus it is? Found solo, nectaring on Plectritis congesta in a clearing surrounded by oak/conifer woodlands and water. Elevation under 50’. Clark County, western Washington, USA. May 11, 2022

Resembles some species of Polyblepharis, the male is needed to be sure. North American Empis remains mostly unrevised. Best wishes, Igor Shamshev |
