Photos taken in Reading, UK, on 2012-07-17. A small 'chunky' Tachinid with a reddish tip to its scutellum. Any suggestions for the species? tristram attached the following image:  [172.36Kb] Edited by tristram on 24-07-2012 23:40 |

Hmm, could it be Aplomya confinis?

Aplomya no way, may be a female Exorista larvarum..

WEll, my first impression was Aplomyia confinis, so I am curious to hear why that cannot be. The eyes are hairy, by the way, in the second picture (so Exorista is quite unlikely) |
