Hello to all!
This is the last one of my Ecuadorian Tachinids (I'm sorry, Chris). The picture is bad because I couldn't get closer than about 2m. Must be the biggest Tachinid I've ever seen: at least 2cm. Perhaps there is anyone with some guess about subfamily at least or so???

21.8.2009, Ecuador, Prov. Cotopaxi, Laguna Quilotoa, about 3500m asl

Those long, forward-pointing palps must be quite distinctive, but they are a feature of a few Nearctic and Neotropical genera Smile

I suspect it is close to Eudejeania pyrrhopoda.
