Location: Lynchburg, Virginia Date: 9/16/2023 Hello! I found this tachinid pollinating a Eupatorium serotinum plant. I found an old key and I think this may be Gnadochaeta nigrifrons. Is it possible to confirm from these images?

It might be Gnadochaeta nigrifrons. I have less confidence in Townsend's key than he had. |
