Looks peculiar, bare eyes, projecting mouth margin, thickened arista (? not completely sure), broad vertex, ... Could be Peleteria, I don't see ocellar bristles (feature for Peleteria) and one can see something like Peleteria parafacial bristles on the first pic ? Theo |

I saw the parafacials on this one but they don't look the same as I am used to seeing on 'normal' Peleteria, so I kept quiet. Certainly isn't Tachina but the very broad parafacial reminds me of some of the more unusual Goniini. The fly is crying out "catch me ... specimen ... over here!!"

Maybe - but we need to see a specimen - did you catch any of these flies? |

Not because I did not think that she would be difficult to identify  |

? Chris ? Peleteria rubescens have very broad and silvery parafacialia. It does not prove anything, but it certainly is not inconsistent. Theo |

We live and learn  Tachinids are not difficult to identify and some can be identified reliably from photos if the photo shows the necessary parts. But most require close examination to confirm the identifications - even big ones like this. On a more positive note, if you do take some specimens I would certainly help identify them and I'm sure Theo would too
