I am assuming that this is an Ephydridae as it looks more like a frog than most of that group, but it has no rays on the arista. Is the genus possible to determine from the pictures?

Looks like ephydrid genus Setacera, female. This genus is very close to Ephydra, but flies prefer fresh, not salt waters:)

Thank you very much for your advice, Cranefly. It did come from a freshwater site.
