Hello,
I photographed this fly near San Giovanni (BZ), Italy, 1300m a.s.l. on July 13th 2021. I think it is a Tachinidae, and it looks like a member of the genus
Lydina to me. Is the genus correct? And is it possible to identify its species?
Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Hello Emanuele, you are right and it should be L. aenea.

Lydina is much less spiky and has hardly an yellow on the wing base.
C heck the gallery.
this is Zophomyia temula, common in June and apparently in the mountains also in July.

Thank you for the correction! The appearance of the bristles on the body does indeed match better with
Z. temula rather than
Lydina.
