Thank you, Leuba! I will be looking for your spotting:) Check out Beaker's comment. I have a starting point.....it is a marsh fly. Thank you, Beaker for helping us both out!

Great shots Stephanie! This is a marsh fly, and I know you like to find your own IDs, so have at it:)

That's amazing. We've been seeing quite a few similar flies here but maybe slightly smaller. Your's seem to have more dark blotches on the wings. Have to put mine up soon and hope for an ID - genus level at least ! Nice spotting, Stephanie.
