Hello, I photographed this fly on Monte Pettino (AQ), Italy, 1000m a.s.l. on April 29th 2023. It looks like a Rhinophoridae to me, but I'm not completely sure. Is it possible to identify its genus or species just from this photo? Unfortunately it flew away before I could take other pictures. Thank you in advance, Emanuele ESant attached the following image:  [297.14Kb] Edited by ESant on 25-09-2023 14:32 |

That is actually a Tachinidae in the Wagneriini-tribe. I need to check the literature. Theo |

Thank you for the correction. Just yesterday I was double-checking this individual and came to the conclusion that it was more likely a Tachinidae, and to my untrained eye looked like Wagneria or Rondania, so this is a nice confirmation. By the way, do you live in the l’Aquila region ? Yes, I live a few kilometres away from L'Aquila, if you happen to come again in the region let me know. Which places did you visit in the area?

Rondania ? I think you mean Ramonda, since Rondania is totally different. This seems to be a Wagneria, it might be W. gagatea but based on this one picture, I cannot be sure. Theo |

Thank you! Yes, of course I meant Ramonda, I tend to mix up the two names. |
