Tachinid Fly

A male Bithia spreta (Diptera: Tachinidae).  Identified using the key of Belshaw (1993).

A species that is new to me.

Another Rhagionid Fly

From two years ago: another male Chrysopilus, this time a Chrysopilus asiliformis (Diptera: Rhagionidae).  These are actually quite small and could easily be mistaken for small gnats.
