I have never seen this fly. My guess - Opetia nigra, Opetiidae, rather rare fly. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Sorry, Nikita, but you are dead wrong  Opetia as not as slender - think Chrysotus or Crossopalpus. I think it is a hybotid, but cannot see which one.

I'd go for a Trichina (Hybotidae).
