It was taked at my garden, into the Zaragoza city, Aragon, Spain. Continental-Mediterranean climate. In flowers of Ruta graveolens. At summer 1999.
The fly size is about 15 mm.
?What species can be?
Thanks ;)

That you are getting so few answers may be due to the fact, that your pics are loading
very, very slowly :-/. I wanted to take a look at your robberflies, too, but always only got a small red cross because of timeouts (I have a broadband internet account). Only after several tries I succeeded in seeing the pics (but I can't help on them, sorry).

Conops quadrifasciatus (?)

Thanks Kahis!!!! Is a possibility.
Juergen, my pictures have only 350 pixels broad and 300 pixels by inch. This is the case in Conops and robberflies, thta are old photos, but now I save the pictures at 500 pixels broad and 300 p.b.i.
I think that if I put less resolution it can be difficut to fin the species.
If somebody had the same problem (too much time to load my pictures), I will put it in lower resolution.
Regards ;)

No problem here, really.

Load times are normal for me too with a normal broadband connection. So, that exceuse must go. The fact is that we don't know everything :( ;)

A lateral picture will be more than helpful to rule out Leopoldus! No 4-fasciatus, because the scutellum is yellow. If the specimen turns out to have a long snout, it must be
Conops scutellata.

No problem with the resolution, your pictures aren't very big. Seemed to be some connection difficulties on the way form your ISP to mine. Today your pics are loading here with normal speed.

WE actually need to see the head in lateral view, esp. the proboscis.
And it looks long in this pic, but I would like to be more sure.
The wing might cover the tip of the proboscis.
Can you get a really lateral picture (so, from a lower point of view) ?
Thanks
