 Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on March 29th 2020. I think it is a teneral specimen, but I'm not sure if family Tachinidae or Calliphoridae, is it possible to identify it from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
