Family Tachinidae. It looks kinda familiar, but I cannot recall the genus name

That looks like Dexia cf. rustica (family Tachinidae) to me  Definitely a dexiine but I can't quite see if there is a central facial ridge ... do you have more angles Andrea? Perhaps one that shows the face from the front?

Again, I'm with Chris. The topcel looks stalked, but that must be a trick. It's not Estheria neither Dinera grisescens, and also no Dexiosoma, so it must be Dexia rustica. A female. Theo |
