Robber fly.
This is some kind of robber fly, family Asilidae. I'm surprised Herschel Raney hasn't offered a genus already:-)

Cerotainia macrocera
The long antennae, and very small size,suggest this Genus. There are only two in the Genus: macrocera has a shiny bald black thorax, albipilosa has that thorax more or less covered with white woolly hair.
