I have to say that it looks like ForestDragon is right -- Mallophora fautrix is a better match!

This species of Robber Fly doesn't seem to have common name. Wonderful photo!

Thank you very much. I did look at photos of this Robber Fly but didn't find one exactly like this one.

I agree with TK. It definitely looks like a Rober Fly.

That's a robber fly, but I don't know what kind of robber fly.
