Excellent question.
If only I had an answer. :)

All I can think is that I accidentally tagged this image in addition to (or instead of) another image that I was moving to Asilidae.

In any event, thanks for catching the error!

This is Dicolonus simplex (a relative of Eudioctria). Nice photo.

Thanks for the determination. I hope to snap a number of species this season, so stay tuned.
