Hi,

this small Tachinidae was flying very low near dry sandy ground. It has very beautiful silver colour face. I'm allmost sure, that no identification can be done, but nice fly anyway.

I think this is a male Metopia sp. (Sarcophagidae).

Hi, Metopia indeed! That's why I didn't find Tachinidae like that. Thank You so much.
