Rafael,
I think your mistake come from the pd on t3 : they are actually ad (an ad are actually av).
Try to see if you can find some small setulae under scutellum as well as small setulae on meron : if, so, it is Helina evecta.
Stephane.

Rafael, I can see other little mistakes on your montage : the seta pointed in yellow is not the supra-alar, but the pre-alar, and it is not the katepimeron but the katepisternum.
Stephane.

Thanks for correcting. I hope in the future my montage can be useful (specially if it's correct) for somebody else.

The montage of Helina evecta female at full resolution:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10936377/Helina%20evecta%2020160207%20f%20MT.jpg

I wrote the anatomical parts following the tachinid mosch web site:
http://www.tachinidae.eu/definition/definition.htm#
But I see it is a bit simplified

Best wishes

Rafael
