Strange Fly - Leptogaster

Strange Fly - Leptogaster
Clinton, Missoula County, Montana, USA
July 25, 2015
Oriented itself with its abdomen in the air. At first we mistook it for a Ichneumonid. Came to light in Ponderosa Pine forest adjacent to a small stream.

Leptogastrinae?
I hadn't suspected this was a robber fly! Very cool indeed.
