My only view. Similar to T. solivaga, but this could be something else close to it.

The original post got me worried ... to me "T.solivaga" is Thelaira solivaga :)

Oops, solivaga is a rare species name. What does it mean?

solivaga, in Latin means someone that is alone. A solitary fly.
solivaga (female)

Thx for the explanation. I wonder why such a name is given for a fly. Most Tachinids are solitary and do not occur in groups.

maybe in a local where there are very few others flies.
