The serenity of this Asilidae was really impressive.
This photo I took from a distance of only 4 inches.
Please, can someone help with ID?

A female, unknown genus, of the subfamily Asilinae.

Antonio, any chance you have more shots of this 'serene' fly? Might help me make an ID.

Hello, Eric!

I have one more picture from the same fly, that I took in the same day and place:

Four days before photos #1 and #2, I took this photo, that I belive to be a fly from the same species:

I hope with these pictures you can identify my "serene fly". Smile
Note that all these photos I took from very short distances of subject.
Thank you very much, Eric!

Greetings,
AC

Thanks Antonio; now I can see that you certainly have a female Threnia sp., probably carbonaria. The males of this genus have very characteristic genitalia.
