I apologize for the sorry state this little fellow is in... I'm still hoping that the 4 picture set will help me get a confirmation whether this is a periscelid fly or not. Captured in grape juice traps on 31 July 2009 in Cawston, BC, Canada. Habitat is apple orchard surrounded by Artemisia tridentata scrubland.

Sweet, thanks so much! Is species identification dependent upon the genitalia visualization?
