 It is Micropezidae. I don't know enough about the tropical genera to recognize them from a photo.

 According to an article in Fly Times 62 (see http://www.nadsdi...lyhome.htm) they are having a lot of success using iNaturalist to obtain identification in the Americas.
You might try there if no-one can do it here.
Good luck

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.
