Fly on the ocean beach, among pebbles, at Oregon, USA, 13 May 2007. Ephydridae?

That spherical head, like Charlie Brown in the comics.

Looks like one of the coastal Scathophagidae. Not sure about Nearctic species, though.

Are those crossed interfrontals OK in Scathophagidae? (I was wondering about Anthomyiidae.)

Fucellia
