Hi, is it possible to identify this species with this picture? Could be Asilidae?
Thanks for any help!

It is Asilidae. Of the North American genera, it reminds me of Mallophora and Megaphorus (Asilinae with short abdomens). Hopefully Eric Fisher will comment. He is the expert on New World Asilidae.
