I agree with Jorge about C. flavipes; try this key for Conopidae (go to Conops there):

Thanks to Mark van Veen! :)

IMO, flying Conopidae demonstrate the most impressive mimicry! :o
I think it's a very effective trick to approach the host (Conopidae are parasitic flies, females infect hymenopterans in the air...). Am I wrong?
