Very interesting ... not Gymnosoma, not Cistogaster, doesn't have dark wing patches so not Ectophasia ... not Elomyia lateralis ... but after all that I am not sure what it *is*

Maybe "it´s not", can a fly be wrong itself? I think that too many times :( Thanks :) |

Well, it is certainly a tachinid - so it is right-enough

Looks like Hemyda obscuripennis. The darkening of the wing is 'covered' by the flash Theo |

That's interesting ... the abdomen looked too round and bristly for me to think of a Hemyda

Chris i agree it is unusually bristly, if it is Hemyda. The number and length of bristles seem to be quite variable, I have just noticed in my collection. So it still might be correct. And I don't have an alternative. Dusting on thorax agrees perfectly well ! Theo |

I agree, it does look odd and I couldn't think what else it might be

There is an alternative: Besseria lateritia, the Besseria with open topcel. However, the abdominal pattern does not agree. If you could see more of the head.... Theo |
