Hi Aussiegall. Interesting bee fly and nice detail of the wing venation. I like your suggestion of Meomyia sp. Have you seen the sightings for this genus on South Coast NM?

@Curiosity Thanks for that info, I just had a look at South Coast Nm and I am convinced that it is the Meomyia sp. even maybe Meomyia sericans but because I am not 100 percent sure about Meomyia sericans will put it under Meomiyia sp.
