9 June 2007 New Brunswick Canada. Length 7mm.
Looks as though the 2nd antennal segment (pedicel) is swollen, and palps are very hairy on ventral surface
Was Anthomyiidae?

You are lucky Tony, this time not Anthomyiidae!
Rhagionidae, Symphoromyia, I think.

Thanks Nikita; I'm impressed with your knowledge.
Never seen this genus before, the common Rhagionid here is a spotted-winged Rhagio sp. but have not seen any yet this year.
