Hi Liekele,
your fly looks very familer to mine. it has only one anterodorsal bristles. But my images are trick me, some times it looks like two bristles ( 4 reply above ) and some times only 1 ( rest of pics )

Liekele good call !

If I interpret the new pictures correctly, one is mirrored. Correct ?
Otherwise, I'm really confused.
If correct, there is 1 ad which makes Leskiini likely.
Nevertheless, I'm not gonna ID a Tachinid from Israel from a picture only. Really need to see the specimen itself.

Leskiini will be good enough, there are more than 300 Tachinidae in Israel I guess it's not always possible to ID all of them from a pic.

Thanks for all the helpers.

Next time you get one just stick it in the freezer and get in touch with Theo or myself to have it keyed out ... might be quite an interesting record Smile

Could have been a terrific new host record.
