Take a look at...
...Feather-legged Fly Trichopoda lanipes


I am sure about the genus but I can't be sure that it is this specific species.

Sorry it took so long for you to get an ID. In the future, you may want to crop your images to try to fill the frame with the insect. More people are likely to view a cropped image and you might get faster responses.

Welcome to BugGuide!
