Atlantic rain forest, close to sea level, Rio de Janeiro. January 6th, 2015-
I simply have little clue to what kind of fly this is. My memory say that the length was about 15 mm or less.

Thank you very much. The genus Rhopalogaster seems to be a fungus !
*edit*
Well, also a Asilidae genus...

This is definitely a female
Rhopalogaster sp. (good ID John!). The antennae are very long in this genus (= longer than the thorax) and are pointing upward, toward the camera, in this photo.
