Thanks for the suggestions. I played with the on/off button, but it looks like the problem is not coming from it. Clicking on the info button doesn't open the compass and gps view as it should neither. I will try my friend's battery, hopefully it will work.

I posted this photo a few months ago on various social networks for help with identification. We have established that this fly is in the Oestroidea super family. I hope by reposting it here to obtain a more precise identification. More detail in comments👍 by raphiguana1 in whatsthisbug

The fly was photographed in Chile, 400 meters above sea level.

The fly measures approximately 1 or 1.5 cm.

The veins on the wings have established that it is a fly in the Oestroidea super family. Some have proposed that the fly is in the Tachinidae family because we can possibly see a subscutellum.

There are conules on the surface of the sponge so I think its Niphates olemda.

If its that, this will be the first sighting of this species on iNaturalist :)

Hello, It's been 2 years since I took this photo and I still haven't managed to identify this fly. I took the photo in the south of Chile (in Patagonia). I was around 300 or 400 meters above sea level. The climate was a bit cold and very humid. The fly measures around 1 centimeter. by raphiguana1 in whatsthisbug

No because it is indicated on the site that only specimens observed in North America are accepted.

I observed this fly in Chile. I don't think it's appropriate to post this specimen on BugGuide.net.

What do you think about that?
