I could not place this fly. My first thoughts were bombyliidae but the hairless thorax was a strong argument against. Possibly sirphydae.

Length around half inch or more, about the same size as Ligyra tantalus, which I see quite often.

Location - Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m. Outskirts of Bandung, W.Java, Indonesia.

I hope someone can help me with an ID. Many thanks.

Dave
