Sure! Put them up. This cool fly needs a complete ID:)

Thanks Bill.. I have a few photos of its face but they're out of focus and I'm not sure how much help they would be. Worth a try?

Definitely a snipe fly, but of which species, I cannot say. I found a couple online that look like yours, but of course, they didn't include species identification:( Cool fly!
