It looks superficially similar but I just don't think it is Aplomya ... but I can't see enough to say what it might be. Did you take a specimen?  |

Hi Chris, I know these aren't the details you'd like to see, but maybe they help anyway. I just take pictures, I don't take specimen. What other candidate(s) might there be for this fellow? Thanks. Andr? Jas |

Well, I think I can see median discal bristles on tergite 3, which would tend to rule out Aplomya, but wouldn't rule out the very common genus Phryxe. But I can't see the apical scutellar bristles clearly or the front of the face or the palps, so it's a little bit tricky |

Hi Chris, Well, it was one of my first tries with my new camera and I just started photographing flies, so I just took the one shot. Nowadays I try to shoot it from all sides. So for this one I'll stick to Tachinidae sp. Thank you very much for trying the impossible Andr? Jas |

My guess is, the apical scutellar are so difficult to see, because they are upright. Implying, for non-Tachinids, that I follow Chris' sugestion: Phryxe. Most likely candidate, in my mind: Ph. vulgaris. Very common. Theo Zeegers |

You're quite right about the common-part. I mentioned it, because it is part of the argument in this circumstancial ID. I cannot rule out Ph. erythrostoma, but that species is definitely not common, so quite unlikely here. Theo |
