These flies are everywhere in my yard! And it's no wonder why when they are mating left and right.

I would think possibly the genus Dictya, but I always struggle with marsh flies. I can't give you a definite answer on this one. Hope someone else chimes in.
Thanks Beaker. On another spotting of these flies, LivanEscudero suggested a Dioxyna species, though I'm not sure how to differentiate between members of the Tephritini tribe whatsoever http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/144...
These are marsh flies, of which species I am not certain. Hopefully that will get you started on a more specific ID. Great shots!
