Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, 600m a.s.l. on April 19th 2025. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species based on these photos?
If needed, I can provide extra details, since I collected the specimen.

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Yes, lucorum or dubia, genitalia needed to tell them apart.
