Thanks, Andy

It's good to hear from you again. I've been out of touch due to a total knee replacement and hope to be posting more new stuff soon.

Might be an Epacmus -

they're similar to Aphoebantus, but the face is more "produced" in Epacmus, and the proboscis (unfortunately not visible here) is longer. Something to think about when you search for them again in a couple of months or so. Perhaps we'll be able to solve it with new photos.
Oh, Aphoebantus has pulvilli (pulvillus= a pad found beneath each tarsal claw), Epacmus doesn't.

Thanks, Hartmut. I'll leave the post here for now.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this one again. Well, its offspring anyway. I think I saw two furtive bee flies today and am hoping for more.

Thanks, Keith

The somewhat odd body shape and really odd posture were throwing me.
