Hello,

this 4,5 fly is from last august from near Schlaneid (ca. 1150m) in Südtirol (Alto Adige, Italia). I guess it's a tachinid. Is this correct? Is anything more possible?

Thanks,
Michael

Second guess: Rhinophoridae: Trichogena rubricosa male.

This Rhinophorid is most often taken for a Tachinid, you are not the first !

Thank you for the quick answer. Is the correct name Trichogena or Tricogena (as in the Fauna europaea)?

Michael
