Hello,
I photographed this fly on Monte Le Quartora (AQ), Italy, 1600m a.s.l. on June 20th 2023. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?
Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele, I think it's a Carcelia.

Carcelia has completely red scutellum.
Check the bristles on facial ridge
--> Pales
