Bombyliidae (Bee Fly) with spotted or picture wings - Conophorus fenestratus - Male
Elsinore Peak, seen below peak at about 3000' in rocky soil, Riverside County, California, USA
March 22, 2015
This individual was about 3 miles away, but at the same elevation. ? the same species as the other image..

Please un-link different individuals, thanks!
Andy, these two should be un-linked, since they are two different flies. However, you can post thumbnail links to each one, in the text, to keep them associated.
They both appear to be males. So you can check the boxes for gender. -- The eyes meet at the top of the head. = ♂

Moved from Bee Flies.

ID: Conophorus fenestratus
Figure this genus if you see a fuzzy face. (Well, on a fly, anyway.)

 
Thanks for the help
Now I see your many excellent examples on the OC Nat History site and I'm sure they're here as well.
