Well, there must have been quite a wind that day.
The scutellar apicals are not crossed, but a female Ectophasia it is.

When I see wings that are broken and jagged like that (an obviously old, worn specimen) I never trust the orientation of the scutellar bristles Smile

And what about this one? 29.08.06, the wind almost ceased to blow in the evening.

Black: in your case scutellar apical bristles are crossed as it have to be...
Theo and Chris: Thank you for expanatios. Scutellar ap weren't crossed also on collected another specimen. And my previos expirience told me that if something wrong with damned Tachinidae, than, most probably, ID is completely wrong...
