Hi Louis. I don't think so. In genus Tachina 2-nd antennae segment has to be long and 3-d short. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I agree with Nikita - it's close but something isn't quite right about it for Tachina fera. Do you have any more photos of it from different angles, perhaps showing the face a bit clearer? Alternatively, if you can get a specimen I'll certainly have a look at that for you  |

The second photo Another day I try to make better photo (it's difficult to take a photo of a fly on a long flower with a little wind and the fly is almost moving on the flower) or I try to catch this fly ?? Thank you Louis lweit attached the following image:  [106.23Kb] |

The Tachinid looks special, it does not ring a bell. It is NOT Tachina, as correctly pointed out. The wing venation suggests either Linnaemyia or Exorista. Since the eyes are hairy, Linnaemyia is the best bet for the moment. Has it been collected ? Theo Zeegers |
