Robber Fly (Oidardis undescribed sp.)

Male Oidardis undescribed sp. Thanks to Dr. Eric Fisher for providing the determination on 'diptera.info' website. Found at Finca Las Piedras, near town of Monterrey in Madre de Dios region in southeastern Peru.

 

If I remember correctly this was in the 5-7mm range. It was perching on stem tip of short plant growing in middle of trail.

 

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