Dear fellows dipterist,

I thought I would easely identify this relativly big tachindae (12mm), but I end out in dead end in keys I tried (central european key and Belshaw's)
On tachinidae.eu, I end on nothing...

So I guess I am wrong in the interpretation of one of the character... if someone has an idea to guide me

Caught an isolated calcarous area in the armoricain massif (schistics)

-Cheeks non hairy
-hairs on facial ridge
-3+3 katersternal setae
-Prosternum hairy
-4+4 post Dc
-fist post sutural prealar longer than last notapleural
-Eyes hairy and arista bare.
-orbital setae proclinates
-three bigest setae on humeral callus in triangle
-apical scutellar setae are not crossed
-Medial tibia: 4 ad
-syntergite 1+2: 1 marginal pair of setae
-marginal and mediaml discal setae on T3 and T4
-2 hairs of same length on radiocubital node.
