Hannah and Sergio: Good news! This cute fly was identified as Leptogaster sp.! Thank you for the suggestions! :D
LoL! It's true Hanna hahah! Thank you for remember me of this!
Dasypogoninae is a subfamily within the Asilidae :)
Obrigada Sérgio Monteiro. Eu fiquei na dúvida se seria Asilidae, depois de pesquisar um pouco, a suspeita é que seja da família Dasypogonaceae :)
Thank you, Hanna! But, I think I think it's the Dasypogonaceae family :)
Great spotting :) Looks like some kind of robber fly (Asilidae) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asilidae
