Asilid - Scleropogon duncani - Male
0.7 km ExNE of Amado, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
September 4, 2017
There seemed to be a pretty good population of these in this area. It is a joy to watch them in flight just above the tops of the short yellow grasses. So graceful. This one had landed atop the grass.

Photographed in morning and still had some dew clinging to thorax.
