Condylostylus (Caudatus group)

Image of long-legged fly

Description:

Part of the Caudatus species group.Note the hair three quarters of the way up the mid-basitarsus.I suspect C. nigrofemoralis, because the out-of-focus bottom segments of the legs seem to be swollen, indicating dense hairs, but I'm not confident enough to make the call. Easiest way to distinguish in between the two species are the long hairs, or lack of thereof on the abdomen, which are unfortunately out of view :/
