This is an asilidae find on august at 700m in the valley of the gordolasque.
It's a big fly !

Looks like Choerades marginata to me.

Hoi Gordo,
If you say it is a big fly, en when I see the difference in hair lenght on the front and back part of the thorax, I would say this is a male of Laphria flava!
Choerades is not so big, and does not have hairs like this on its thorax!
Greetings

I better stop looking at Asilidae. I always seem to get it wrong...Sad
