 Almost right away when I posted this to iNat, I got a suggestion that it was Boreothrinax. Indeed, that's what it looks like, but it's much bigger than B. maculipennis, which I get regularly. Could it be Sphecomyiella? Here's a rough comparison of the size of this fly compared to B. maculipennis.  |

It would be helpful to know where this fly was found.

My guess is Sphecomyiella valida.

S. valida looks to be a good match, but I'm no expert in this family, so best to wait for another opinion.
