 Hi


My gut feeling says this is a Calliphoridae - maybe the Pollenia itself. It has 5 mm. But this fly seems to have subscutellum...

 Could be Stomina (Tachinidae)

Could we get a really lateral shot of the head, please.

 I will! At the moment I'm using a mercury light trap trying to see if I find here the Therobia... (very improbable but..). I will upload more photos during the hunting in my backyard.


A note on this fly: it was seen in a very high mountain at almost 1700 m maybe doing hilltopping. Not sure if this is usual for Stomina...

Stomina caliendrata
Stomina calvescens Herting, 1977
Stomina iners (Meigen, 1838)
Stomina tachinoides

 well.. the absence of strong bristles (and it is not a phasiin..) makes more probable the Pollenia or similar.. Sad I hope not.
