Honestly I've never seen that one before, if you're in the USA I might want to arrange getting my hands on it.

Post this in Critterquest, Mak0rz or someone will probably know it better than me. Still thinking it's a Conopid fly but I've never seen one with wings that looked like that.

It looks like a Waved light fly. They lay eggs in June Bugs. http://bugguide.net/node/view/7384

Yep, that's the ticket, thanks!

I suck at fly ID and freely admit that.

(I don't really like flies.)
