Long-Legged Fly on Leaf - Condylostylus patibulatus - Female
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
May 22, 2007
Size: Ca 5 mm to tip of abdomen
Most of these flies in BugGuide are listed as Condostylus sp., with occasional warnings that other genera in Sciapodinae are similar. Is this a Condostylus? It immediately caught my attention for relatively long, backswept wings.

Probably Condylostylus patibulatus
This is probably Condylostylus patibulatus (Say). At least in the same genus. I can't quite make out the relative lengths of segments 2-5 of the fore tarsi.
