I originally thought Dolichopodidae but now I am not so sure.
4 January 2011.
Matagalpa Province, Nicaragua, 1000 meters elevation.
On a very large leaf by a very small steam. Open areas and forest both were nearby.
Length: 4.7 mm to the apex of the wing.

I think medeterine genus, e.g. Saccopheronta

Dear Stephen,
Species that have been described in Saccopheronta (now synonymized with Medetera) represent a lineage closely related to Dolichophorus.
This is clearly a Neotropical Medetera belonging to the M. aberrans species group.
Cheers,
Marc
