whether genus
tachina is correct, we can also identify the species?

My guess would be
Tachina fera :)

It is a male with a rather broad vertex and no proclinate orbitals.
SO I'll pass (or send a lateral pic of the genitalia !:) )

Theo excuse, but i did not understand well. In practice you have any doubts on the species, right?
Unfortunately this is the only picture in my possession.
Thanks anyway

This is a
Tachina but Theo is just saying that it is not possible to be sure about an identification without looking at the genitalia :)

To reorder 's store, i found this picture that looks very similar to exemplary precedent. Was done in the same locality July 28, 2009
There are differences on the head and eyes. Are only due to gender?

No - this one is possible to identify - it is
Nemoraea pellucida (male) :) They do look superficially similar but
Nemoraea are just subtly different in many areas (hairy eyes, smaller sized head, wide & flattened abdomen, bristles different arrangement) :)
PS: females of this species are mainly black.
