Picture is not mine. The fly was found by my friend José Fernández in Toledo, C Spain by a sault lagoon on 22.II.2015. A very early Tachinid. Petiole reminds me the one of Hypovoria hilaris (which starts flying much later), but various things don't seem to fit (above all, the genal hairs of this fly). What else can it be?? Not many Tachinids can be on its wings so soon in the season. Any ideas? Whatever help will be most appreciated ;)
