I met this fly in decidous forest near by Łódź ( Poland ). Was march first. Calliphoridae, i suppose - but absolutely not sure.

My guess is Redtenbacheria insignis (Tachinidae).

So, little suprise for me. However, it's even better. New species of Tachinidae in my collection.
Thanks a lot, Stephane.

Rafalk,

Did I understand correctly that you took the pictures on March 1 th of this year ??
That is pretty weird.

As is the fly, it is something weird and Redtenbacheria might be an excellent suggestion: the tibiae should be yellow, though. But structurally it is pretty similar !

Was March 1st, indeed.
Tibiae predominantly black, but the middle parts are brownish/yellowish. When I meet up with Cezary Bystrowski ( polish specialist ), I will ask for opinion.
Thanks for suggestion.

Today I get the confirmation from Cezary. He was also suprised at the date of observation.
Thanks again

Well, I consulted Dr. Tschorsnig in Stuttgart and he has strong doubts.
I think with good reason.
Not only the colouration is off, also there are strong apical scutellar bristles present, which are not in Redtenbacheria (check tachinidae.eu).

So....

It must be something else.

It might still be a Calliphoridae or even a Muscidae ??

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
