Spotting

It's excellent for a cell phone. I'm not familiar with any good insect online resources for your area. I would guess there is some relationship, but not sure what it is. A page back there are banded wing long-legged flies: See this one: http://bugguide.net/node/view/107512/bgi..., still your species is probably not this one.

Well, this was a daytime shot, in full sunlight, so there was no need for flash. And it really does look like a Condostylus of some type, although I do not not see any banding on the wings of the members of the caudatus pictured on that page. These are fairly common here right now, (as long as you are watching for them,) and they are smallish flies, in the 1 to 1.5 cm size range.
Not a bad photo for a cell-phone macro. (I was using a Motorola DroidX to take these.)

There is a family of long-legged flies in North America called the caudatus group. I'm not sure if this insect would fit into that same group, but see this page for more information: http://bugguide.net/node/view/479965/bgi...

They are fast and don't like to be photographed, especially if using flash.
