At least I think it is a Tachinid, maybe a Macquartia. Photographed a few days ago in Suffolk. Best wishes, Martin Martin Cooper attached the following image:  [189.19Kb] Edited by Martin Cooper on 29-03-2014 12:54 |

Macquartia grisea is on the wing at the moment - Jeremy Richardson showed me an almost identical specimen last week

Thanks Chris, I am especially delighted to have blundered through Belshaw's key and arrived at the same species! |

Looking at the NBN Gateway, there are no records for this species in East Suffolk, though this is often due to under-reporting rather than actually scarcity. Details of this observation: Macquartia grisea Woodbridge, East Suffolk TM 27064841 27-Mar-2014 On Hogweed in a hedgerow Edited by Martin Cooper on 29-03-2014 13:17 |
