Lovely shot but not a good angle for an ID shot (side on or even better top down is best).
I'd guess on it being a Dolichopid fly.

Let us know what you find out!

BTW, I like the images ... the head-on shot is really cool!

Cool shots, love the eyes and those long slender legs, but I'm not able to help with ID:(. I usually try here when I have an id question. You can submit the pics but they don't always get back to you due to overwhelming volume: http://www.whatsthatbu​g.com/ (external link) Site is searchable but can be painstaking.

Slightly better angle- definitely a Dolichopid fly .
