Hello,

these photos are from April 26, taken in our backyard in Hannover. The fly is appr. 10 mm.
Is it possibly a Tachinidae?

Thank you for an answer!

Hans

It is actually much smaller and it is a Cyzenis. C. albicans is very common, in this case there seem to be black transverse bands on tergites, which would imply C. jucunda. I am not convinced, thought, that these are not some trick of the light.
So either of those two.
