Identification
Though the venation is not entirely visible, this looks like a male Asyndetus to me. Has it been observed close to the coast?

Family Dolichopodidae
Hello Charles,
This is a fly in the family Dolichopodidae. You can look in the guide, there are several pictures of this family!
Greetings,
