Little black flies are notoriously difficult to ID.

Same goes for little yellow ones.

Saw this one this evening as it was getting dark & after rain.

It's likely in the Lauxaniid family, possibly genus Sapromyzosoma.

Maybe S. quadricincta or S. quadripunctata?

Or maybe something else entirely 🤷‍♂️

Anyone? 😬
