Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on August 3rd 2019. I think it is an Asilidae, but is it possible to tell the genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Neomochtherus or related genus, I think. Resembles N. pallipes.

Greetings,
Henrik

It looks small, it could be a Cerdistus sp (related to and similar to Neomochtherus)
