I saw this brownish fly today in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. Knee-high grassland, with pond and ditch at close quarters. Can it be identified to family/genus (and who knows, species) level?

Are these female and male of the same species, incidentally? According to Stubbs & Drake cristatus should have all black legs, but the female in this photograph appears to have a yellow femur III. Does this affect the earlier statement about cristatus (as suggested by the photograph of the female)?
