Hi.
This Tachinidae was observed on august 19th at home (near the town of Sens, Burgondy, France). A such abdominal pattern and three antennal segments which are black may suggest Nemorilla as a possible genus. The unexpected reddish femurs excluded Nemorilla floralis characterized by black femurs. How do you think about this specimen ? All my thanks for a reply.

Hi Jean- Michel

Check the wing venation. Nemorilla is very different.
It is a male Linnaemyia and red femora, as well observed by you, point to L. vulpina.
A typical late summer species.
