Turkey, Antalya, Serik, Abas, 2023.04.21. Length 14 mm. Looks like Crobilocerus megilliformis according the key from publication: Geller-Grimm, F. and Hradský, M. 1999. Die Gattung Crobilocerus Loew, 1847 (Diptera, Asilidae). Entomol. Zeitschrift 109 (3), 119−123. Is it possible to confirm or to correct ID?

Thank you! I found a few other same species flies in different locations near Antalya during the same visit.
