Is this a Rhagionid? My guess is based on the long "style" (or is that an arista?), the tapering abdomen, and the long legs.

I'm posting three images. Thanks in advance for any help!

Here's the second image. By the way, this is from West Virginia USA, an open area but near woodland, photographed 29 July 2006.

If this was an european critter I'd say Chrysopilus (Rhagionidae).

I'd agree with Kahis, that this is a female Chrysopilus. The smokey band across the wings suggests quadratus, but I don't know whether other WV species share this character!
