It was confirmed 7.5 hours after you submitted it. – Nayuki Mar 02 '16 at 02:34

Although the fee is roughly 0.0002 BTC/KByte (corresonds to 20 Satoshis/Byte), at the moment there is a congestion of transactions happening in the network, with roughly 30,000 unconfirmed transactions: https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/
Therefore the required fee has increased dramatically for high priority transactions: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/#delay
So it looks like your transaction fee should have been three times as high to be regarded with high priority.
But just wait some more time, the transaction should be confirmed soon.

Oh thank you. Can I add more fee to get it to speed up? Or is it too late now – user33484 Feb 29 '16 at 21:28

What wallet are you using? Some of them do allow to double spend your own transaction using a higher fee. – Bjarne Magnussen Feb 29 '16 at 21:34
