I am not at all expert in Asilids, but do take an interest in them, so I might be able to help a little. The four obvious features of yours that will be important in identifying him (he looks like a male to me) are:

1. Those beautiful emerald green eyes.
2. The position and amount of yellow on the legs.
3. The size, shape, position and general appearance of the genitalia.
4. The habit of hanging upside down - some genera do this much more than others.

If I get time I will look at my references and see if I can help more.
