the recent threads about Bombyliidae remind me this picture took at the end of may 2005, in Spain, on the road to the Sierra Gredos, at the west of Madrid.


is it possible to get an genus ID from this picture ?

This is Parageron "aurata-complex", although most specimens require examination of epiphallus for certain identification, i am reasonably confident that these are P. loewi.
