Hello everybody,
this should now be a tachinid species, but which one? Maybe Dexiosoma caninum?
Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), 15. 06. 2016
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Not
Dexiosoma. European Megaprosopini have a more sharply bent M vein.
Maybe Leskiini.

To me, it looks like
Solieria sp.

Thank you, Theo, and all the others, who contributed something for identification.
That´s already then second time I mistake a Soliera sp. for a Tachinid fly.

Solieria is in family Tachinidae, even the same subfamily as
Dexiosoma.

Hello John,
In search of information about this species I have just noticed that, too. Nevertheless, thank you for correcting my mistake.
