Apoclea sp.

During my excursion to the South of Oman this September, I saw quite a number of Asilidae (I hope) and would be very happy if you could help me to sort them out (or even better - ort them in). The region is defined by the huge Omani dessert inland, the Indian Ocean and a small strip of land between those, which is regularly watered by a summerly monsun. Huge biodiversity, although we where a little late and missed a lot
.
The Asilidae came in two sizes, a larger ones around 14-17mm, and smaller ones with 10mm or even less - but with wonderfül eyes.

This one from 20-SEP-2023 I saw at Taqah Beach, a village close to Salalah, it was certainly around 15-17mm.
