Are you able to characterize the family and the genus ? I believe that it should be a Tachinidae, but in this family I was unable to found the genus. All my thanks for your help. Sincerely yours, Jean-Michel Garel.

First guess is Ramonda, but the petiole is very long and the outer vertical is strong, so it might be another genus. A good look on the bristles on the humerus would help. Could you please provide latitude ? “Yvonne” is a rather clumpsy word to use in Google 😁 Theo
