Found this hovering around a termite mound making short stops to egg lay under ledges. It has long legs and can hover very well. ID please anyone?

I would go for Bombyliidae. David Gibbs might be able to tell you more.

See also my thread http://www.dipter...ad_id=2343 from 2006, where David Greathead identified a similar fly as Thraxan.
