A few miscellaneous fly photos from La Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (Buenos Aires, Argentina) taken last March. I don’t have IDs except provisionally to family (let’s face it—flies are hard!).
I suppose something in the Tachinidae, based on the black and white striped coloration and distinct abdominal setae.
Definitely a robber fly (family Asilidae), but which one?
I suppose this is some kind of bottle fly (family Calliphoridae).
Nice eyes!
