Stiletto Fly

As the common name suggests, this handsome fly had long legs which, like the abdomen was brown in colour except for a section on the tarsi which was white. Thorax and head were black with a pale "v" shaped pattern on the thorax. Wings were tinted dark with a pale band across the middle of the wings. Legs showere short stiff setae.
At first sight this fly looked like a slender brachonid or ichneumon wasp. this is suggestive of mimicry.
