Taken by Francisco Rodriguez in Almeria, SE Spain on the 21rst February 2012. Looks like Exoristinae to me. Can it be Exorista? Or anything else? Help, pleeeeease!

Looks very interesting indeed ... unusual and early too ... can we hope that he caught it and has a specimen?  I agree that the colour and general head shape look like Exorista but the parafacial bristles don't go down far enough and the white hairs behind the head are not evident. It also doesn't seem to have a shadow fold extending from the bend in the median vein so ... I doubt it. The calyptrae seem to be huge so I suspect that it is something quite interesting

Francisco always finds interesting Tachinids that drive us mad I will ask him if he got the specimen  |
