Hi
My gut feeling says this is a Calliphoridae - maybe the Pollenia itself. It has 5 mm. But this fly seems to have subscutellum...

Could be Stomina (Tachinidae)
Could we get a really lateral shot of the head, please.

I will! At the moment I'm using a mercury light trap trying to see if I find here the Therobia... (very improbable but..). I will upload more photos during the hunting in my backyard.
A note on this fly: it was seen in a very high mountain at almost 1700 m maybe doing hilltopping. Not sure if this is usual for Stomina...

not sure if this helps. I need to take a real lateral shot. I will upload other photos I have ready to upload.

maybe one of these:
Stomina caliendrata
Stomina calvescens Herting, 1977
Stomina iners (Meigen, 1838)
Stomina tachinoides

not dorsal view.. but it shows the subscutellum. In a few minutes I will show the dorsal abdomen.

well.. the absence of strong bristles (and it is not a phasiin..) makes more probable the Pollenia or similar.. :( I hope not.

Pollenia sp. ?
