Hello,

I photographed this fly near Pizzo Cefalone (AQ), Italy, 2300m a.s.l. on July 21st 2021. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Note the broad vertex, strong costal spine, only twp prae DC, excavation on syntergite 1&2 incomplete, weird wing venation etc..

I’d say a very nice Masistylum arcuatum, high Alpine endemic !
