Here's another Conopid, same genus but different species as my Conopidae I post? That is, genus Physocephala? Photographed near flowering plants alongside a pond, West Virginia USA, 21 July 2004. --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Yes, Physocephala. Where the wing markings obscure the venation (as here), you can still recognise this genus because it has thickening at the base of the hind femur, rather than centrally.
