I am trying to ID a small fly that I beleive is an Ephydrid. As you can see from the attached it has dark markings on its wings. There are three pairs of dorsocentral bristles and no fronto orbitals. The face is yellow and it narrows below the antennae and then widens again. I have closeup pictures of various parts of the insect if they will help.

Sorry, the image did not attach. If you previewed it first, I'm afraid you lost it...
