Hello,

I photographed this fly near Assergi (AQ), Italy, 900m a.s.l. on April 1st 2021. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele, I think it's a Dexia rustica. (vertex broad like female? but discals on T3 & 4 like male?)

Greetings, Eric

Female ameigenia, I’d say. Bare arista and erect apical scutellars.
