I'm no dipterist, but it looks like one of the Dolichopodidae. It could be Poecilobothrus nobilitatus. Have a look at some images on Google and see what you think.

I looked on Bio Images, but the examples weren't very good, so I googled Poecilobothrus nobilitatus and eventually came up with this guys photography site.

So thanks Misha, I think it looks about right.
