Robber Fly
Female Stenopogoninae of sorts. Found about 0.7 km ExNE of Amado in southern Arizona. Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA.
There seemed to be a pretty good population of these in this area. It is a joy to watch them in flight just above the tops of the short yellow grasses. So graceful.
Tough to get good shots though as most of the time they land down in the grasses with no unobstructed view for photographing them.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
