I cannot see all the details but I'd say that the mouthparts are not long enough. Neither can I really see what it's size is. If you still have it and are willing to send it to me, I can have a look at the actual specimen.

It IS Empis aestiva. It was the most common empid species of in the two Malaise trap samples I examined. The most common hybotid in the two samples was Platypalpus albiseta. In all, 10 species of Empididae and 17 species of Hybotidae were found.
