Baumhaueria goniaeformis if I am correct?
goniaeformis is why I laugh. I was thinking how much the head looks like a Gonia so I should've noticed this name [goniaeformis]. I somehow missed it. I must be more tired than I imagine. I got some sleep now. I will read about Baumhaueria today.
I want to retrain myself with Tachinidae. I am struggling with this family.
I have to say that this is a lovely species. I remember that it was a very windy day. Many flies take flight as soon as I approach them. This one just sat there looking at me. I really enjoyed photographing it. I am wrong about having only one photo. I have others. I didn't look at all of my photos from that day. Anyway, this is a very cool fly. I hope to meet it again. I would like a specimen for study.
I will add more photos from that day if you want to look at them. Let me know ...
Thank You, Theo.
