Hello,

At first sight, I thought it was an Asilid, but the face was not concave, as it is always, as far as I know.

One can even say that the frons is very protuding.

I looked in the Gallery for a Therevid and found that T. inornata and T. plebeja could be good candidates.

Am I on the spot, or completely wrong?

thansk in advance.

First impression is indeed that of Th. plebeja or strigata female.

Both more spring species.
