I did look up the SCTOPHAGA STERCORARIA, and learned why it was not necessary to find dung in the vicinity. It seems that the larvae feed on the dung, whereas the adult is predatory of other flies! From the behaviours I observed, they almost seemed to "pounce" with those long legs rather than fly to make their attack! Interesting! Thanks again, Ernie!

Thanks for the ID, Ernie! I really appreciate it. Unfortunately no farms are in the neighbourhood. But then I would think the flies travel a bit! There are some horses a mile or so away.
