Hello,

I have problems to ID this Tachinidae, the thorax pattern is similar to the Exorista sp. but the wing veins are different, so I can exclude the Exorista genus. Another genus could be the Bithia genus, the wing veins look similar here.
I see the reclinate orbital setae, 4 longitudinal strips on the scutum, postpronotum with 3 bristles, 2 achrostical presutural bristles, 3 presutural dc bristles, 4 postsutural dc bristles.
Ok, I stop here and I hope someone help me to ID it.

Thanks for the help!

Ciao,
