 Probably Stratiomyidae. Note small discal cell near front of wing.

 Thanks again! I would never have guessed this was in the same family as the other Stratiomyidae I posted.

Best regards,

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
