I often saw this sniper flies, but could never get any closer than Nerioidea, maybe Family: Micropezidae?

Micropezidae subfamily Taeniapterinae. The vertical row of long hairs on the katepisternum (above mid leg) identifies the subfamily.

Thank you very much for IDing and explaining the subfamily characteristics.
I hope this one (100km W of the other location) belongs to the same subfamily (Taeniapterinae): https://www.flickr.com/photos/gbohne/6291579052/in/album-72157677669208370/
