Thank you for the ID LivanEscudero--I think you nailed it with Condylostylus longicornis!

These are hard to get down to species, but I can tell you it is a Longlegged Fly. Most likely in the Subfamily Sciapodinae. If that is so I'm taking a guess that in California it's probably Condylostylus longicornis
