Hi Armen, I don't think so.
B. maritima I've checked with Cerretti (2010): I tachinidi della fauna italiana.
It reads there that
maritima's lateral presutural bands are subrectangular and the median band is hardly visible. Also, tergite 3 is usually without median marginals. And in my own experience the abdominal pattern of
B. triangulifera differs conspiciously from
maritima's pattern. I include an image of a female
B. triangulifera.

Well, the black triangles only show up in hind view and I see clearly one in the last pic, so I'd prefer triangulifera.
