Long-legged fly (FOY)

Saw what I think is a long-legged fly -- can't remember where, but on a leaf of some sort as I puttered around.  Would never have noticed, if I hadn't read Susan Mulvihill's book about garden insects.  S/he was quite slender, but with definite long legs, and the wings had distinctive black marks towards their ends.  These are helpful for eating aphids, thrips, etc.
