Fine shot
You are just north of me. I have seen these flies one county west of me. I am trying to take some to see if I can see which species we have locally. Really clean shot of this Searcy county beast. Would love to see some robber shots from your county.

I'll keep my eyes open
Thanks. And, I'll keep my eyes open for robber flies.
