Also, the commonest problem is having unnecessary spaces or punctuation in the filename ... or having a file over 190KB.

Sorry for that and thank you for your advice. Well, here is the insect which I think is Tachina fera.

I'm even less sure about this one - it has very dark front tarsi. Do you have other angles of it? With most tachinidae it helps to have a few photos to pick up multiple determining features - too many are variable and similar to other species. Wink

Unfortunately I don`t have any other pictures of this Tachina sp. As a hobby photographer I was pleased with the one the moment I took it without thinking of the problem of identifying it. Thank you very much for your help.
Regards
