Can anyone confirm whether this fly is male empid fly? or other fly?
Thanks :)

It's a female Empis. Any further info might get you more than just a genus name.

Thank You Paul,
not really can give you more info, but I took this photo in England (Southampton) during the spring on common Daisy. Length probably around 8mm.
Cheers

Well, in that case it is very well possible that it reminds me of Empis femorata. ;)
