Most probably
Crumomyia pedestris but the focus on the pictures is not quite enough to be certain. If you have a speimen you can send over for confirmation...

Confirmed as
Crumomyia pedestris. Four females arrived in the mail last Thursday but I did not have the opportunity to examine them until now.
