Hello,

I found this fly in a private garden L'Aquila (AQ), Italy, on October 7th 2023. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos? I kept the specimen, so if other details are necessary I can provide them.

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Clearly, a female Winthemia. Need to work on the species.

Thank you! Could it be W. bohemani?

Yes, it looks like bohemani, but here only 2 sternopleural (meral) bristles, should be 3.
Moreover, tibiae are black.
It is the female of W. rufiventris.
