Dolichopodidae. The pale bristles and reduced claws may be distinctive for a genus or species group. In North America Diaphorus males can lack claws, but usually have dark bristles and less conspicuous genitalia. Thrypticus is similar to your fly, but in my area the fifth tarsomeres are normal (as far as I know).
