Robber Fly - Proctacanthus - male

Robber Fly - Proctacanthus - Male
Sandy Hollow WMA, about 3 miles west of Wilmer, LA, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, USA
April 14, 2020
Size: 28mm
Long leaf pine forest. Very open forest with near by right of way. Counted 19 on a 1 hour walk. Temperature near 70F with sun. Hunting and mating. Early date and relative small size has me thinking Proctacanthus brevipennis. Comments appreciated.
