Giant Robber Fly - Promachus nigrialbus West of Benson, Cochise County, Arizona, USA September 1, 2008
I believe I have matched this one to an image and description in the "National Audubon Society Field Guide to the Southwestern States."
They call it a Giant Robber Fly. I spotted this one at around 3:00 pm on an Agave plant in my front yard, 4,600 elevation in a rural desert area.
