I have seen several of these so far this year without getting a good picture. I think the subfamily is Dolichopodinae. The marked wings are unusual.

Thank you. It matches D. setifer in major features. I hope I will be able to get a better picture.

The MCZ has pictures of a type, http://mcz-28168....&-Find.
