Finally, I believe that this species must be Estheria picta based upon all of the evidence presented to you. Tschorsnig does not include genitalia with his keys, so I ask if anyone can recognize it as picta. All of the data leads to Estheria but I am not an expert. I am struggling with Tachinidae. I hope that I am correct with Estheria picta.

If I understand Tschorsnig correctly, then bare cheeks eliminates cristata and bohemani.
The area around m-cu and the post-angular vein are browned eliminating petiolata
This leaves picta, a first record, a new species or a misidentification.
The genitalia should help no matter what the case is.
