Hello,

isn't it a Hilara (Empididae)? (But I am no expert.)

I'm missing the typical wing venation of Hilara. Might be more in the direction of Microphor (but I have never seen a Microphor, so certainly I'm no expert :-) ).

Ah, yes, I should have been reminded of those by the antennae. I seem to only know shining black species of Microphor...
