 An asilid, probably belonging to the Dasypogoninae > A bit weird looking Saropogon. A lateral picture would help and a better look at the front tibiae too.

 Reinoud, I'm sorry to say that it is mainly "the look" (at least in a dorsal view). The head is rather angled forward and it has long, 'floppy' antennae; also the generalized venation (which in Ancylorrhynchus, cell m3 can be open or petiolate) and the 'bare' look of the body & legs (inconspicuous setae). Key to spp. (in Israel): Theodor 1980.

Cheers & very best wishes for a great 2017!

Eric

 Thank you Eric! I found the antennae most troublesome : )))) I checked my Saropogon specimens and all have an open M3....something to remember..
