Hello, I wonder if this one is a Phasia sp. from the Tachinidae family. It was taken close to Florac, in Lozère, France. The picture was shot the 24th of September. Thanks already for your opinions.

Hi Theo, Thanks for your answer! Any possibility to go further? A lateral view could help you or it is too complicated for this gender? Have a nice day, Olivier ----- Olivier Mattelart | Nature Photography http://www.mattel... |

It would be possible with a male but the females (this is a female) are virtually identical unless you have a specimen ... I think the relative length of the proboscis is the main character to check
