Looks like Hetralonia megerlei to me, (But I am not an expert!)

Thank you John and Henrik!
It sure is like Hetralonia megerlei!
For me I never found so many Bombyliidae and to know difference in species.

I made it an Hetralonia cf megerlei as it cannot be far from it.

Regards,
Hedy

wing venation will lead you to the correct genus if the wing is clearly captured in a photo.
I have started a wing comparison chart but it is far from finished.
