Yes Jeff: Oidardis sp. (male) - undescribed. Fabulous shots of these little twig-tip sitters. This species has been observed in nearby Tambopata Reserve (along with several other Oidardis n. spp.), and specimens of all are under study in Brazil.
These little robber flies (Atomosiinae) are abundant & diverse in neotropical forests.
Cheers, Eric
