Another tiny Robber Fly (Asilidae, Diptera)

This is another tiny dragonfly-like Robber Fly (Asilidae, Diptera) perched on a flower bud of native Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia, Rosaceae). It's tiny, only about 1/4 inch long. I found a different tiny robber fly recently, see this photo, but this one is much more colorful. It's another fly with golden hairs, see this photo. HFDF! (San Marcos Pass, 15 June 2017)
