This appears to be a species of Dance Fly, Subfamily Empidinae: http://bugguide.net/node/view/511517/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/174938 I can't help much more than that. You might consider submitting it to Bugguide.

What an amazing fly! I have never seen one with all that feathering on the legs and that unusual face!
