First post inquiry here from new member, so I hope it works ok. Fly found in Lebanon, Ct. USA on 2-9-09, late afternoon. Temp about 40 degrees.
Looking for identification for it. Possibly sarcophagid. Any help appreciated. Please explain how it was identified. Thanks

Thanks all for the help with the ID. It is indeed a cluster fly.
