The mouthparts look wrong for
Iteaphila and the fly overall more resembles
Rhamphomyia.
The Nearctic and European Empididae are similar. Try the illustrated Nearctic guide at

Thanks! Rhamphomyia seems to be a better choice!

Rhamphomyia erytrophthalma, one of the two autumnal species of
Rhampomyia in NW Europe.
