Hello!

This fly had the habit and size of a big Sarcophaga (about 14-15 mm), but it seems to be a Tachinid. Very distinctive the yellow scutellum, but I can't find a match Frown. On tree trunk in forest, northwest Germany.

The eyes are hairy, so definitely a Tachinidae

First impression is Ernestia rudis female (broadened fore tarsus, size, partly orange antenna, ...), but there seems to be an appendix to bend of vein M. That bothers me.

The appendix could be a slight fold or trick of the light.

Hello, Theo and oxycera!

Thank you! Ernestia rudis was indeed flying that day at the usual places. But this fly seemed to me much more slender, really like a Sarcophaga. I have E. rudis generally in mind like the one below.

You are comparing a female with a male !

But still, I have my doubts as well.

Hello. What do you think about Nemoraea pellucida? I've get some shot of one female time ago, and from descriptions seems so similar.

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
