Certainly, and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you keep in mind the book only shows a fraction of the species around, so if you find a "match" it might be the one, but it might also be one of ten others not depicted.

I was just being cautious because Tachina fera seems to be near impossible to ID from photo on the continent. Only realized just after pressing "Save" that you guys have it easier

So, cheers on the ID!
