Hello,
I have found these flies in a forest. I guess Tachina lurida, but I am unsure. What is the right species?
Thank you,

Hi Marion, I think it's T. ursina.
Greetings, Eric

ano, I think it is lurida. Female have dust bands on tergites 3 & 4, but not on 5. Moreover, the vertex of male seems too broad.

Thank you very much Eric and Theo. I will store the flies as T. lurida.
Checking some old pictures I found this one from 8th April 2006. Could it also be a T. lurida?
Thanks and best wishes,
Marion
