EDIT: title was "Muscid (?) for ID".
Thanks to Stephane for tentative ID.
Several of these in my banana-bait trap the last week of September.
I don't recall seeing them before.
Southern New Brunswick, Canada.

Thanks Stephane, nice to know the correct genus. We do have
pascuorum in eastern Canada but I also have no keys.

Tony,
Try this publication on California Muscidae: http://essig.berkeley.edu/documents/cis/cis18.pdf
It has a key to seven species, and only seven are cited in Manual of Nearctic Diptera, so it should work. ;)
