I thought it had to be a recent picture. It is Rhamphomyia variabilis, a species mostly occurring at this time of year. But the character to separate Rhamphomyia from Empis is the absence of the fork in vein R4+5, which is not visible in this picture. Over all you can say that the proboscis in Rhamphomyia is shorter than in Empis, so one could easily have believed this was a species of Empis. Luckily, there are only few Empis species around now.
