Can anyone suggest a genus, maybe even a species for this large robber fly photographed in Croatia, near the coast in a scrubby limestone area? Several emerged soon after sunrise, hunting very close to the ground with a deep buzzing sound and resting/scanning from stones on the ground. This female had caught a small solitary bee.
