In the same place as the other Tachina I found this specimen. Is it Tachina? Which one?

I think it is Tachina but it looks like there might be 2 very small bristles between the eye and the mouth, which would then suggest Peleteria. But I have never seen a Peleteria with such small bristles so it could just be a trick of the light or an abberation. Not too sure.

IT's TAchina and it looks like a female magnicornis
