Sintoria

This is a female Sintoria, you can see the distinctive greenish metallic shininess on the abdomen and thorax. I've caught them not far away, in the Mojave desert section of extreme SW Utah.

ID response

Thanks John. I should have taken a better face view. Looking at Asilid characters, I see the big eyes are widely separated (visible in dorsal view). The facial bristles don't show that well in my pictures. I'm learning.
