Probably a Campsicnemus with that modified mid tibia; the genus name means "curved tibia." Compare C. scambus.

Leg modifications in Dolichopus are nearly always ornamented fore tarsi or hairs under the hind femur. D. plumipes and remipes are the two major exceptions; they have ornamented mid and hind tarsi.
