Question Robberfly sp ID please?



Found yesterday on a tiny hot patch of sand in a dune slack at Newborough Warren, Anglesey.

It measured almost an inch and landed with an audible 'thump' each time it jumped, flew around and came back to same spot!

I'm thinking along the lines of Asilus crabroniformis but it doesn't seem quite hairy enough??
