Hi I found this fly in final afternoon on Tuesday in Vila Nova do Ceira - about 20 km-30 km of Coimbra. It is a Gonia, but which one? EDIT: Title changed from "Tachinidae - Gonia sp." to "Tachinidae - Gonia cf. ornata (melanic)" jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [178.64Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 06-04-2008 13:42 |

Hi Jorge Are the parafacialia really that grey, or is this the lighting of the pic ? First impression was G. atra, however, that does not fit. The face suggests a melanistic female G. ornata. But it does look peculiar Theo |

The face suggests a melanistic female G. ornata. But it does look peculiar Theo the colour is natural. The parafacialia is *really* grey.  It calls my attention the very peculiar colour for this Gonia. |

In that case, the wings are probably genuinely darkened as well, in which case I return to my first impression Gonia atra. Theo |
