Found this one last night inside the house.
The closest match I could find on the diptera site is Nephrotoma cf.appendiculata http://diptera.info/. The only tiny difference I could find is that the one on the diptera site has a black pointed tail while the one of mine is orange-yellow. Mine also looks to be a female.

Looks like she's missing one of her legs!
