Hi Rafael,

You did a great effort, but these Tachina are a total mess.
You could very well be right, but this male has 2 proclinate orbital bristles. A “typical” nupta ( if such a thing exists” has only one.

I’d say: check the genitalia. Cerci in lateral view is qwuite different between fera and magnicornis, maybe for nupta as well ?
