In Tachina fera the fore tarsus is usually yellow, in males the anterior tarsal claws are almost as long as the last 2 tarsal segments. Tachina magnicornis has fore-tarsi brown or black, the anterior tarsal claws are clearly shorter then the total length of the last 2 tarsal segments. |

T.magnicornis also has a wider frons but that can be difficult to measure in photos ... in this one it looks quite clear though
