Tachinidae_Thelaira solivaga (male) is correct? Region Malá Fatra Terchová about 700 m above sea level. Thank you very much for your help. I made a photo of 30.05.2011.

Thelaira is a quite difficult genus to work with and
solivaga/
nigripes are often difficult to split. In the absence of male genitalia (which are also not particularly different but they can help) we usually go by the number of ad-bristles on the fore tibia, which in this case would seem to indicate
T.solivaga ... but I'd just add that in all these things I prefer to look at a specimen and a photo ID in this genus is always going to be a lot less reliable ;)
