Adejeania vexatrix
Very nice. The good thing about this genus is it is monotypic, which makes things alot easier. Too bad there isn't a common name for this species, it's always nice to have a little english. On the other hand now you can call it what ever you want. Very nice photo by the way.
Compare to the guide-

thanks
and thanks for the quick identification! Since the guide photo (a great picture) was taken only about 20 miles away (as a crow flies) from my shot perhaps we should call this the Rocky Mountain Bee Fly...

Thanks again
