As it is pinned I gather you collect insects. Did you collect this fly yourself? In what habitat was it found? What time of the year was it? If you didn't collect it yourself it's maybe wrongly labeled and could be from e.g. South America or something!? It still got to have a name though ...
#10
no i did not collect it
i know nothing of its origins aside from what i have told you
the lable on the fly is practicaly rusted on to the pin
the place may be wrong but the date fits the condition of the specimen
#11
sorry it took me so long to get back... ive had alot to do lately
#12
i now have some photos of the wings
more to come later

How about packing the specimen up and sending it to someone knowledgeable. Enough people here who would jump to have a go at it...
