It is Dolichopodidae. Igor may recognise the genus - it's worth changing the title of the thread to include Dolichopodidae to attract his attention.
I think you are right to be cautious about whether it is a fake. It's difficult to be sure when looking at a picture, but the fact that the thoracic bristles have been displaced forwards makes me suspicious of this one.
