Actually I thought I was shooting a Tachina fera, but I see now on the computer that it is a completely different species. I suspect this is something close to Phryxe or maybe Goniini.

Edit: Changed subject (Tachinidae (3))

My first thought was Peleteria but it looks a bit small, so now I am not sure. It has a wide frons but I don't think it is goniini and it doesn't have hairy eyes so it can't be Phryxe (and Phryxe don't have orange abdomenal side-patches). It looks interesting but it's not something I have seen before so it needs Theo Smile

Catch me a specimen and I'll key it for you! Wink
