Any idea what kind of fly?

Looks like Dolichopodidae;
Campsicnemus sp. maybe...

That's probably because SWMBO put a cartoon on the mirror on how she would have liked you to be. :D

Thank you Roger and Paul for your comment.
The typical mouthparts of these species aren't visible on this picture.

A Medetera species, maybe M. truncorum from East Turkey from this forum: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=31782
Turkish specimens recorded on lower parts of tree bark of Salix babylonica and observed as good hunters on Chironomid flies.
