Hi everyone !

I pictured this specimen 2 years ago in my garden.
I could measure it on pictures : 6,4mm.
At first look I thought it was a Sarcophagidae (surely due to the last abdominal segment) but now now with all I read about Tachinidae , I'm asking me if ...

Some notes I wrote when I was selecting the pictures :

Length measured on picture : 6,4mm
Arista hairy, larger on 1/3, pedicelle black 2d segment with bristlets above.
2 strong bristles after ocelles.
No oe but 2 strong bristles forward .
Bristles behind the eyes.
dc : 2 + 3
ac : 0 + 1
2d tergite hollowed but not to the end of tergite,
Tergite 3 with 4 strong discale bristles tergite 4 et 5 complete row of bristles,
Deflection of m (90°) with folds
3 ad on median tibia,
Tegula black, basicosta orange,
Frontale bristles stop just behind pedicelle. Britlets under to the end of frontalia
The rim of the front (all black) touch the vibrisses
Palps black
Legs black
Humerus callus with 3 bristles,
No strong bristles on the face on the scutellum, only bristlets, also bristles visible on the sides of the scutellum
The last abdominal segment is round, black and bright.
