From this specimen I have only one picture. Is it possible to identify the fly? Thank you.

 Vermileonidae! The ant-lion-fly Smile Wing fits. Don't mind Roger, they are hardly found there where You live.

 Probably Lampromyia (Vermileonidae).

 No, it's not Empis or related. Totally different wingvenation. And what seems to be the proboscis on this picture, probably is its right leg 3 clinging to the plant.

To my opinion this belongs to the Athericidae, or closely related.
