Hello,
I photographed this fly on Mount Utero (RI), Italy, 1640m a.s.l. on June 14th 2025. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species based on these photos?
Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I quickly took some details of the parafacial of the specimen. For what it's worth, I too end up to
M. dispar by following the Cerretti's key.
