Fruit fly – genus Strauzia

Spectacular fly! I propose the common name of "Eyelash Fly". 😊 The genus is said to be in need of revision, so identification to species is problematic. But this seems similar to what has traditionally been referred to as Sunflower Maggot Fly (Strauzia longipennis).

 

Thanks to Spencer Pote at BugGuide.net for confirming my genus ID: bugguide.net/node/view/2239802
