Is this just an Ephydrid or something more interesting?

Thx for the id, I am always glad when I see something new. I hoped for a smaller family. It appears that the females in this genus are nonidentifiable. If I am not mistaken my image shows a female, Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

You're right - only the males can be readily separated.
