I agree that there is a similarity but for the long tail. Could it be a different gender?
I will have to research further!

it's a girl !!! :-)

male-female thing? the one at wiki has a tail

Argy ,that was my initial reaction. But the previous Snake Fly did not have such a long tail!!

Looks like another one of those 'snake flies' ? Raphidioptera
