I think this should be Cyzenis albicans. Early season helps to narrow down the possibilities. Steve  |

The ocellars are reclinate - a not very common feature. With that in mind I think it's Campylocheta sp. and with reddish tibiae most likely Campylocheta praecox.

Thanks Steve and Walther. I had to know. In 2012 I had photographed an other Campylocheta praecox in my garden. Also in April. Regards, Thijs http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

yes, good spot Walther, I didn't see the facial ridge bristles of Campylocheta but they are just obscured by the camera angle - photos are tricky Steve |

You figured it out, Walther is right ! Campylochaeta praecox is one of the first Tachinids to appear in spring. Theo |
