Yes. Looks like E. cristata, but the topcel is open. Confusing.
There are many more species, but not in Poland !

I was thinking about
cristata but it is a bit confusing and i do not have a
cristata specimen to consult. I try to help with Tachiniae whenever possible. You often have many posts to deal with, Theo. I'll try harder to contribute whenever i can do so.

Thanks and sorry, my mistake.
It is petiolata or picta, note the darkened cross-vein r- m !!

yes. I forgot that i actually have a E. picta male specimen. It looks very similar to my male E. picta.
the humeral callus is yellowish, the area around m-cu is darkened, and the basicosta is brownish yellow.
I think that E. picta is the best match. Do you agree?
