Hello,

I photographed this fly in Val Udai (TN), Italy, 2200m a.s.l. on August 2nd 2023. I think it is a Tachinidae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Good call, Emanuele. Arista is plumose yet indeed a Tachinid.
Looks like a Billaea.

No pic showing hind tibia ?

Thank you Theo! I double-checked in my archive but these are the only two photos I have of this individual.
