Makes us think Mydas Fly
Seems like a bit of red on the abdomen? Anything else other than black?

agree that reminds of Mydas Fly
I only saw at distance through viewfinder, so no additional color information, only know color from image. Other images not submitted also show reddish in abdomen. Have only seen 1 Mydas Fly before, and that was unlike this with orange front portion of abdomen--clavatus. This individual much smaller.
