With those long mouthparts, this must be Bombyliidae?

I also thought of Empididae, though this fly was larger than the Empidids I usually see. Sorry that I did not get a measurement, though.

ID help appreciated!

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
