Finally, I found one just sitting by the roadside, ready and waiting to go into action. Easily approached, as these things go.

Hello Ron,
I just found a Pseudonomoneura female in the desert, looks like P. hirta , and the males are black and yellow. I sent a link to your photo to Jim Hogue, who helped with the ID, for comment.

Sorry it is not a robber... t
Sorry it is not a robber... the wing veination and he antenna are typical for Mydidae. But they are close related to robberflies...

Now I know why it was easier to photograph.
Didn't know Mydidae existed. Will look more closely at future flies. The antennae in particular seem distinctive.
