I will appreciate any suggestion on this Bombyliidae, which I had not seen before until last summer, when I found it almost daily coming to the flowers of Linum tenue (in the picture), one of my study plants in the Sierra de Cazorla mountains in southeastern Spain.

Picture was taken on 20 June 2014, at 1200 m elevation in a large forest clearing, and the flower is about 10 mm across, just to give an idea of scale.

Anticipated thanks for any help !

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
