I am no way qualified to identify Tachinidae at this point in time. Especially without a specimen. I depend upon your posts, Theo, to learn more about them. I always read every thread about Tachinidae with a Zeegers post :) I am only familiar with about ten gernera. I have alot of studying to do.

I find that Tschorsnig is superb if you have a specimen under a microscope. Otherwise, Tschorsnig is not helpful for finding a genus based upon a photo.

I decided to peruse Linnaemyia keys in Tschorsnig last night. I figure that it must be tessellans because Tschorsnig mentions that picta has yellow tibiae.

Even so, I will have to collect a specimen. I will just use the photos for reference without naming it. I am learning that alot of Tachinidae are difficult to id without a specimen.

Thank You for helping me with this one, Theo. You are Wonderful!
