ID help would be appreciated on this fly which I believe is a Micropezid. Can anyone add the subfamily or genus?

As the photo indicates, this was taken on the western slopes of the Andes, 8 June 2008. The province was Pichincha.

Many thanks for your help!

Well I have been working night and day on the ID since I posted this on June 12 ;)

Genus Scipopus?
