Good morning. This Tachinidae was observed in April 21 (2020) in my garden of Burgundy (Near the town of Sens; Yonne department). The thoracic and orbital chetotaxias seem similar to the small Tachinide Cyzenis albicans which is active in spring. Are you agree with this identification ?
Many thanks for your response. Sincerely yours. Jean-Michel Garel.

Sorry, but no. For starters, the mid tibia has several ad bristles, Cyzenis has one. This looks like Blondelia nigripes, if the eye is really bare.
