Wow - that looks like a rather lovely Tachina sp. ... it should be possible to key it out ... looks close to Tachina ursina/lurida group Smile In fact it reminds me of a few things in the Moscow collection - how long is the body?

Not saying that your specimen is one of these but here are some examples (courtesy of the Moscow University Zoological Museum):
Tachina ardens

Yes, it is a Tachina subgenus Servillia

Many Oriental species. Need to work on it, and even then...

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
