Bombylius major
A lot of your bee flies look vaguely familiar. Wish I could help more.

Suggestion: Move your posts to Bee Flies, where they'll typically catch the experts' eyes quicker. (You can move them all at once. See Help tab for basic info, then tag all those you want to move before putting them at the new location.)

BTW, please check male and female by editing the Submit Image form for this post. We have very few bee flies IDed to gender at this point.
