This fly belongs in Family Phoridae, also known as scuttle flies or humpback flies. One of the key features would be the enlarged hind femur (shown above).
This fly I wasn't sure of until I asked at BugGuide. Just as I thought, it was a Long-legged Fly (Family Dolichopodidae).
Head without the scar-like suture and antennae not clubbed.
No anal cell in the wings and no division in the long middle cell.
I may be posting a lot of these posts in the future, since this is what I am working on most of my days.

Thanks for sharing this topic. It's really timely as I'm trying pains like this, and I'm website actually intending attempting this for myself.
