Hello
One month ago i took a photograph of this fly in Crete (Greece)
Is a Euthera sp?
I found it near the one fontain and one carob tree.
Altitude 20m near of the beach.
Thanks

Looks like it.
Could you post a blowup ?
First need to be sure it is a Tachinid

Easy part: genus = Euthera, excellent ID
Difficult part: species.
You'd expect Eu. fascipennis (= manni), since tuckeri is a more tropical species. The best features to separate them are on the head.... so invisible here.
Given the wing venation and my collection, I'd say it is fascipennis.

Nice find - I thought that all
Euthera spp. were North American but perhaps it did a "
Trichopoda" :)
