First Brachycera of the year, near urban wetlands in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. People scared it away before I could get closer. (Edit: Actually my second Brachycera sighting. I forgot the seaweed flies on the beach last month, because they are active all year.) John Carr attached the following image:  [157.4Kb] Edited by John Carr on 04-03-2016 19:43 |

On my planet this would be Calliphora vicina. No idea if there are similar species around in the Nearctic. Theo |

I don't see a better alternative than Calliphora vicina. They are very common at elevations over 500 meters, less common at sea level. |
