I would like to see the ovipositor and the end of the abdomen of the asilid better. For i think it is a female Neoitamus cf cyanurus. The tarsi are too black for a Neomochtherus species. The wing coveres the important last segments.



Yes, some details are missing. Even increasing photo's brightness last tergites don't seem to be black...but are still too dark to be sure they're not black at all. Anyways, to me they appeared too "fat" to be a Neoitamus, that usually has that kind of slender "spear" made of last black tergites.
