Hi everyone,

Here comes my usual question on Tachinidae.

I caught this specimen two weeks ago (no pictures in vivo unfortunatly, it appear my only pictures of specimens in vivo are always Voria ruralis or Phorocera sp. :| )

I am not convinced by my identification on this specimen (using Tschornig&Herting's):
- not hairs on cheeks
-few hairs on R4+5
-apical hairs on scutellum crossed, not uprised
-3 st
-majors hairs on humerus in line
-pre alar longer than notopreral
-propleuron bare
-hairs above vibrissa reach more than 2/3
-no Ad preapical bristlet on T1

I end on Pales genus, and with thoses black legs, it should be P perigrina.
Does it appear possible? (it is quite dusted for a species "hardly dusted")
