The fly just emerged and is not fully developed so it is no easy job to identify. I wondered if it might be an ephydrid: apparently big mouthparts, shape of the antennae...

I'd agree with Ephydridae. Any habitat details?

The specimen emerged from an aquarium so not sure where the larva originated. Thanks for the educated guess. John |
