Looks more like a Tachinidae to me, possibly Blepharomyia ?? Theo |

So I took another look at this, and I am not sure. I feel like it does not have much of a postscutellum like other tachinids I have seen. Anyways tried to key it with the Tachinidae key of central Europe, without much luck too. MorganA attached the following image:  [220.51Kb] |

I can't see the head clearly. In Metopia the anterior reclinate orbital is between the two proclinate orbitals (instead of behind both). Check for that. |

Thank you, John! If I got the bristles correct, that seems to be the case
