Tiny Robber Fly - Stichopogon trifasciatus

Tiny Robber Fly - Stichopogon trifasciatus
Juno Beach (Juno Dunes Natural Area), Palm Beach County, Florida, USA
May 25, 2012
Size: 7mm
Would love to get this micro robber fly identified. I don't see well and thought it was one of the tiny tiger beetles until I saw the image at home. These are common now on the white sandy dunes in the oak scrub.
