Hello,
This Tachinidae was photographed in August at 2460m altitude in the Pyrénées-Orientales (France).
The completely black antennae make me rule out the genus Tachina.
The absence of parafacial setae make me rule out the genus Peleteria.
I think it is a genus Nowickia.
The abdomen brown rather than yellow, the brown scutellum and the brown femur 3 make me rule out the most common Nowickia ferox.
Could it be Nowickia marklini? (Cf 2 to 6 marginal setae of tergite 2; 3rd antennal article 0.6,- 0.8 x the length of the 2nd; black tegula and brown-yellow basicosta)

It seems what you think is tergite 2, is actually tergite 3. 'Second tergite"refers to the syntergite 1&2, which is in dorsal view the FIRST visible tergite (I would never say second tergite for that reason).
And I don't the bristles there, so it might be something else. To be honest, it looks like an extremely dark male Tachina (note the broad vertex and partly reddish femora)

Hello,
A member of Insecte.org noticed that the right hind leg is injured (the apex of the tarsus is missing). The femur seems peeled and it is likely that its original color is black. Also, all these erect and thick bristles on the scutellum also argue for Nowickia?
