This tachinid was found in dunes in Viana do Castelo, Portugal (22/08/2009). Is it possible to point out a species?

In this part of the world this would be Dinera grisescens, but you might have plenty of similar species in Portugal.

Thanks Jaakko! I think that there are only two more species known in Iberia Peninsula: D. ferina and D. carinifrons. Given these options is it possible to be sure it is D. grisescens?

Now I see that D. grisescens is the only one of the three species to have the R5 closed. This must really be D. grisescens.

With those reddish legs it really is grisescens.

Jaakko is right
