Villanova Monteleone, Sardinia 24/08/2008 dimensions: around 12 mm.
I think Tachina: fera? magnicornis? corsicana?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like a Tachina but that abdomenal pattern doesn't look like anything I have ever seen before Smile

That is because it is the pattern of Tachina praeceps.

I just happened to study a series by Gerard Pennards from Zakynthos, Greece.
Thanks Gerard !

The others are not characteristic.

It's OK - I approved the first and the third one ... I know the first photo doesn't allow an identification to be made but it shows the whole fly well and shows how very similar these Tachina spp. are Smile
