A Tachinidae found in a vineyard (Hérault - France). I think it is Peleteria, but I hesitate between P.varia and P.meridionalis

Yes, and meriodionalis is an early spring species.

Might very well be iavana (= varia)

thank you for your confirmation, the flight period is certainly a decisive indication.
Best regards,
