Bery well documented ! I need to study the genitalia, but given I bet it is Peleteria meridionalis male.

Thanks a lot! Do you know if this species was recorded before from Romania? Are you aware of any Catalogue with Tachinidae from RO?

So, I double checked and it is P. rubescens. I forgot this species has a spring generation in south Europe. This species is most certainly known from Roumania

You can check the (known) presence of any species in the online World checklist
