This might be some type of fly? This might be a Drainfly?

The edges all around the wings, were banded. Dark and light colors. The wings were black, but when I took a photo of this insect, the wings were different shades of brown. The legs were banded. Light and dark colors. This insect was alive, and able to fly.
