paler large bee fly - Poecilanthrax willistonii
Jett Reservoir, Kiowa County, Colorado, USA
September 14, 2015
Size: approx 2 cm wingspan
area of weeds adjacent to drying reservoir, surrounded by arid ag lands and short-grass pastures; I wonder if this is the same species shown in photo#1142135 and associated image as they occurred in same location, are same size, and have identical (or at least quite similar) wing patterns
