Subgenus Group (incorrect)

After reviewing the keys for this family and checking the qualities of her characters, (lacking wing vein information) I'm now convinced that she is a Robber Fly in the genus Efferia.
After checking the subgenus groupings and the images of the species contained in them, I'm fairly sure that she must be a member of the Anomala group and most likely a female Efferia tricella or something very closely related.
However, since I don't have any comparison images of females of that species and others in that grouping, I'm forced to place her at the subgenus level for now and hope to get better shots of the next one.
She seems to be identical to this female from Arizona, placed into the Anomala sub-genus group by Herschel Raney: ♀
