An historical sighting. This Drone Fly had a different eye shape to that of sighting 4249360. In this sighting the compound eye structure comes together towards the top of the head with the two eyes touching. In sighting 4249360 the Drone Fly's compound eyes remain separated.

Assumed to be a male, based upon there being no space between the eyes.
