Hi all,
I collected this 5-mm muscid in the Mojave desert of California in a pitfall trap in early February of this year. Using Huckett 1975, it keys easily to Phaoninae, but I had trouble keying it to genus - got tentatively to Pogonomyia, but that doesn't seem right. Any ID help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Ken

Sorry - can't seem to resize my images of the face and close up of the lateral thorax and head small enough to be posted here...

thanks John - darn, did it again - keep forgetting which vein doesn't get to the wing margin in Muscidae, sorry all.
