Photo made with the Nikon 1 V1 on a Nikon 85mm DX macro plus a Kenco 35mm extensison tube and the Nikon 1 flash.

I think that this is a fly but I do not know which one.

Request ID

The mouth parts, wing venation and antennae resemble the bee flies, but I'm not familiar with one with that particular shape.

I sent an ID request to Bug Guide a few days ago and hope someone there will come up with an ID. I think that it is a Dolichopdidae or Long-Legged Fly but have not found out which one.
