 Hello,

I photographed this fly in Campo Imperatore (AQ), Italy, 2100m a.s.l. on July 11th 2022. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Maybe because they don't instantly fly away when approached... Anyway, thank you for the identification!
