Hi, Micki
Neat photos, but tough to ID because wing veins can't be seen. Looks like wings were clear, though.

Bombyliidae
Thanks, Ron, for all the comments (and compliments.) I'm lucky I got her at all, though. She really was a busy little thing, and just wouldn't sit still!

There's a trick, which took me a year to find out.
Catch them while they're eating. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. When they're working, they're really tough to shoot.
