Well, it's a Phasia sp. for sure but I don't know if aurigera is over in the Nearctic or not - my guess is not. Best to ask Jim O'Hara I think

Thanks Chris, glad to get a genus - I even did not know the family!
Checked O'Hara's web page on Eastern tachinids; just 3 spp. here: aurulans, diversa, robertsoni.

This might very well be aurulans male
