Species Chrysopilus thoracicu
Species Chrysopilus thoracicus - Golden-backed Snipe Fly?

 
I think Chrysopilus is probably good.
Not so sure about the species, though. C. ornatus is also a possibility (and there may be others as well).

Let's see what the fly experts have to say.

Incidentally, you will improve your chances for an ID if you crop your pic as close to the insect as possible. Only you and the editors can see the full-size image.
