Yellow-footed Diptera - Tachina

Yellow-footed Diptera - Tachina
Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

This fly caught my eye because of its yellow feet. It was larger than a house-fly and was sitting on a delphinium leaf in a nursery. It flew off before I had a chance to take more pictures.
