Asilid - Stichopogon catulus - Female
Madera Canyon in Santa Rita Mountains, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA

This individual and many others of the same species were found near water edge in stream bed off of the Proctor path. Plenty of prey in and around the stream, including other flies. Don't recognize this prey item, possibly a mayfly.

Thanks

Thanks for the ID.

Hmm
not trifasciatus unless highly atypical. We don't have an arenicola shot here. And I have never seen catulus. Not fragilis or colei though.
