Yes, you are quite right. It reminds me of Rhamphomyia's I saw on Bugguide, and I think those were R. longicauda.

By the way, the date, is it in American notation (month-day) or in European notation (day-month)?

Hi Paul,
Im using the American with month first.
I don't know if I should go with that if I don't know what other species there are to compare with though.
