This looks similar to the Feather-legged flies in the Bug Guide. I'd love to know more!

Trichopoda sp.
I would love to know more about these flies too. This one looks closer to image #11701 than to any other in the guide. However we don't know for sure the species of several flies in this page other than the ones with a red abdomen, T. pennipes.
We should remember that Nearctica lists six species.
Very good shot!
