Hello, I was seeing another picture
http://www.insect...33036.html
Could Ocytata pallipes have such an orange abdomen? I think Actia are more blackish and Phytomyptera has not that wing venation, Tachinidae are very difficult for me
Thanks in advance
(the picture is not mine, I can ask)

The vanishing median vein is a very rare feature in tachinids so the photos could show Ocytata pallipes ... it would be my guess but Theo can tell us if you have any other possibilities in the south :)
