Well, it is simlar but something quite different. As you can see on the other image, the hind femur has a number of strong anterodorsal setae. These are absent in your picture. Further, the frons on the other picture has a clear difference between a glossy median part and dull lateral parts, which is not visible in tour picture. The fly in your picture also has shorter antennae.
I think you fly is the dryomyzid
Neuroctena anilis (used to be
Dryomyza anilis).

Your fly looked familiar to me but I couldn't place it. When I read Paul's response, I immediately checked a specimen of
Neuroctena anilis. Well, Paul is right again! He is good indeed :)!
