Observed near Ayuttaya, Thailand, Jan. 2016.
Is Anthomyiidae correct and is it possible to tell the genus?
Thanks in advance,
David

An acalyptrate. It reminds me of Notiphila in family Ephydridae.

Thanks for your reply John.
Is "remind me of" equivalent to "I think it is"?

David

When I saw the picture I thought "that looks like Notiphila". I don't know enough about Asian Ephydridae and I don't see enough of the wing to say it probably is or probably isn't.
