Hi John, thanks for your help! I assumed this fly to be of the family Conopidae, because of the very long and needle-like mouthparts and proboscis.

The known Chloropidae species from this region include only introduced species: Cadrema pallida, Liohippelates flavipes, Siphunculina ornatifrons and Siphunculina striolata. Do you have a good literature recommendation where I might find identification keys to these species?
