The serenity of this Asilidae was really impressive.
This photo I took from a distance of only 4 inches.
Please, can someone help with ID?

Thanks for help!

A female, unknown genus, of the subfamily Asilinae.
Antonio, any chance you have more shots of this 'serene' fly? Might help me make an ID.

I hope with these pictures you can identify my "serene fly". :)
Note that all these photos I took from very short distances of subject.
Thank you very much, Eric!

Thanks Antonio; now I can see that you certainly have a female
Threnia sp., probably
carbonaria. The males of this genus have very characteristic genitalia.
