snipe fly

nice detail on this member of the snipe fly family, rhagionidae - probably chrysopilus modestus

 

i need to read up on snipe flies, as there are likely more around me that i’ve been observing than i was aware of, not being familiar w/ them until just recently

 

was incorrectly identified originally as belonging to the long-legged fly family
