Hello,

I photographed this fly in Vallone di Santo Spirito (PE), Italy, 700m a.s.l. on September 4th 2023. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Yes, genitalia are characteristic. It is a very nice male of E. prolixa !
