Robber Fly (Microstylum sp.)
Male Microstylum sp. Thanks to Dr. Chris Cohen for providing the determination on 'diptera.info' website. Found at Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, WSW of Oudtshoorn. Western Cape, South Africa.
This large attractive robber was wary and hard to approach. It took some 'chasing' to get decent shots.

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
