On the Tree of Life website Diptera page I have seen this one named as Condylostylus sp. It is a genus with 40= species in North-America.

Click on info above
And you'll see more info about this particular family of flies. Right now there's just the classification, but eventually someone (probably me) will add more info. Search for the family name, Dolichopodidae, and you should find more info online.
