I found this Tachinid yesterday (21st May 2024) on Leucanthemum vulgare, on a dry meadow near the Elbe river (Lüneburg, Niedersachsen, Germany)
best regards,
Jann

To me, a clear male E. pellucens, based on arista, length of third antennal segment and abdominal colour.

But aren't the antennae distinctly separated?
T&H key:
helluo: Antennae at their base separated by at least half the width of the 1st antennal segment.
pellucens: Antennae hardly separated at their base.; they almost touch.

I have no idea, I'd never use that. but for reasons given, to me pellucens.
You can compare pics of validated males and I hope you see my points.
