19 July 2002, New Brunswick, Canada. Length 21 mm excluding antennae
1 of 3 specimens collected on the banks of 2 rivers. Face, see 2nd photo, reminds me of Asilidae but for the long antennae.

Thank you. Drs. Cumming and O'Hara (Canadian National Collection) agree with you in that it is an Asilid. We have 9 species of Ceraturgus in eastern North America.
