A 'true fly' (Diptera), but in poor condition (dead?). And it's always helpful to have several images taken from different angles, to aid in identification.

I try, but it can be a challenge to get one photo. I have added a photo that seems to show the right rear leg moving, but that doesn't help with identification.
