Bombyliid Pair - Bombylius - Male Female
Blue Mountain/Deer Park, Olympic National Park, Clallam County, Washington, USA
July 19, 2008
Blue Mountain is about 6,000 feet at its peak. We saw these bombyliids all along the trail to the peak. This pair was a bit lower, near the bottom of the short trail.

Not an ID -
but I think these flies are probably in the genus Bombylius. Not sure which species, though... Please wait for one of our experts to comment. Great images!!

Bombylius?
That was my guess too, based on a quick perusal of bugguide pages.
