This one confused me. I see no trace of proboscis in my photos.

New Hampshire, USA, June 22, 2011.

Absolutely Empididae. As I am unable to see the typical Empis-fork in the wing, I guess it is a Rhamphomyia

I cannot tell what wing venation is really like, and there is no view of the proboscis. It might also be a hybotid...
