Hello,
I think this is Exorista larvarum for the following reasons: 4 dc post-suture, black longitudinal central line on the abdomen, naked eyes, partially reddish scutellum, golden parafacial pruinosity.
What do you think, please?

Yes, it is pretty similar to exorista larvarum, but the pattern of abdomen seems slightly off and the date is extremely earky for larvarum. You might have other species.

It seems the eye might be hairy, can you confirm /deny that byblooking at the "original" ?

Thank you very much, Theo, for your comments. You're absolutely right; the eyes are hairy, much to my surprise. Here's a photo where it looks quite clear:

Given this and time of year, it is E. segregata.
