It's certainly a tachinid but I don't recognise it so I'd need a specimen to put through the keys. It looks like it should be fairly easy and close to the dexiines - with the long legs and that shape of face: small antennae; tall gena; and wide, hairy parafacial area  |

No problem - it will be very interesting to see it but I usually have enough to keep me busy at any time of year  At the moment I am working on 150 tachinids from French Guiana ... entomological masochism at its worse!  I don't have much chance of identifying them but it is good fun to try to split them into taxa at least

Looks like some Dexiini indeed, possibly Billaea. Theo |
