Another one with inflated femur...

CHongwe, Lusaka, Zambia.

Amongst grasses/non-native Mexican daisies in heavy shade.

Size: quite large, probably about 22mm?

Similar to other species suggested to be Hoplistomerus (and in same area), but seemed darker, hairier and more thickset upon examination of photographs.

[EDIT: changed title to reflect identified genus and possible species. Was formerly "Black Asilidae, Africa - Hoplistemerus sp?"]
