 I think you have Systropus or a related genus (Bombyliidae).

Stylogaster in family Conopidae is similar, with long antennae, beak, and hind legs.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
