Hello. This Tachinidae was like 1 cm long and was playing aroung some mint flowers (searching for a suitable, host-attended, leaf where to lay eggs?). I've found it in Praglia (near Padova city, North-East Italy). I think should be of Exoristinae subfamily and Goniini tribe; my hypothesis is that it's of the genus Spallanzania. S. cf. griseiventris female (reclinate orbital bristles). Am I wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

It wasn't possible to upload pics directly to this forum, so I used an external website (of course the visual effect isn't so good :/ ).
