Hello,
I need help to ID this Tachinid, it seems to be a Spallanzania genus:
08.08.2014 - North Italy - Peglio (Como) - 650m
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Marcello

I think you are right, on account of the whitish basicosta.

The ocellars are proclinate, so it can't be Spallanzania.
I am thinking some kind of Chaetogena, though not sure !!

@Henrik: thanks for your help! We tried ;)
@Theo: Thank you so much Theo, I have never seen this genus before, do you think a (poor) lateral photo and a frontal photo could help?
Thanks for the help!

Marcello
