All the details needed to ID it are there, you just need to put the shot into context. It is flying from left to right.

It's not that fuzzy, you'll kick yourself when you know. Look at the way the legs are oriented and the area around the mouth. It's a very small, very fast insect. It's a miracle my camera focussed on that and not the fox I had pinged in the background. Look again at the first picture and imagine it flying past you. You'd ID right away.
