Bumblebee mimic Robber fly

There's a type of robber fly which mimics a bee and I was going to travel to Scotland this Summer to try and find and photograph it. I've been wanting to see one of these for years. On the 2nd morning in Bulgaria just at the end of the morning session I saw a smallish looking fly roosting on the seed head of a tall grass. When I got a bit closer I couldn't belive it when it was a robber fly bumble bee mimic! Amamzing how excited one can get on spotting a fly!
