Thanks Mark and Lauren. Lauren, I have other photos. They are somewhere, but do not know if they are good to see the venation of the wings.

Do you have another picture that might show the wing venation?
LaurenZarate
The way it holds it's wings, it almost looks more Bombyliid.....
Mark Ridgway
Extraordinary patterns on the thorax and abdomen like tiny ancient runes. Ulidiidae?

I swear that the spiders of my yard are plotting something against me. Yesterday there was a spider in the cloth peg. It was a trap, but I could see her before grabbing in the cloth peg. Believe me, Tiz. I'm going back to the plants. :) Thanks for your comment.
Tiz
Well, after looking at your interesting spottings with that camera, it cant be that bad :)
Sckel
Oh, Tiz, you have no idea how insects hate me after I bought a photographic camera. : D
Tiz
Interesting, it looks like he is trying to impress a lady with his moves :)
