But a curious one.
First impression of Siphonini apparently wrong, since the subapical scutellar bristles are not converging.
SO next best guess would be some Blondeliini.

Thanks Gabor & Theo. I was only 51% sure this was a tachinid. It seemed a lot different from the few other tachinids I have seen.
Posting a photo of face in hope this may help in a futher ID.

It should be easy for a new world specialist to recognize, for one thing because of setulae on the parafacialia
I'm not, but I'll give it a try.

That's a good idea. I'll keep collecting tachinid photos and try to gat a NA expert to look at the entire package at the end of the season.
