Hello,

I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on August 10th 2022. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

The world checklist has puella and suturata from southern Europe.

Thank you both very much! Is it possible to distinguish these two species based on photos? Or should a specimen be collected?

It is C. suturata (topcel without a petiole)
