Still a puzzle
One of Marshall's books(1) has a picture that looks like this fly, captioned Leskia depilis. That fly is not the same species as shown in the TachImage gallery under the same name. I will try to find out if one is misidentified.

Another vaguely similar fly is Anisia flaveola.

Big nose
This is a puzzle to me. The two big-antenna Leskiini I can think of are Clausicella, which is dark, and Crocinosoma, which has the first flagellomere convex on top in profile, lacks discal bristles on T3, and is a southern genus.

Edit: Discal bristles on abdomen rule out most species of Leskiini. Solieria flava has them, but would also have a long proboscis and more black on antennae.
