Hi,

Length approximately 0.8 cm
Can it be identified?
Thanks,
Stella

Hello,

too early for Rhinophora lepida. I think it is Kirbya moerens (Tachinidae).
Best regards,
Jürgen

In North America it is not even the earliest of Voriini (or Wagneriini). The most common and conspicuous Tachinidae of spring in New England are Gonia and Epalpus signifer (Tachinini).
