it seems tachinidae to me (?), about 6mm, cylindrical abdomen, hairy. I beg you pardon, I have no camera, so this is a bad scan!

I think I?m sure this is tachinidae; cylindrical abdomen too, but bigger (a little more than 1cm), hairy too

Hi Nigella.

Sorry, but the picts are too small to give a definite opinion.
But first impression is that most, if not all, are actually Sarcophagidae or Calliphoridae.

A very very crude, but nevertheless quite effective rule of thumb goes like this:

Arista bare -> Tachinidae (or Sarcophagidae Miltogramminae)
Arista plumuse -> Sarcophagidae / Sarcophaginae, Calliphoridae or Muscidae

If all the animals in your pictures have plumose arista, most will not be Tachinids

thanks for the effort! I was only considering the big bristles at the end of the abdomen Smile

Bare or plumose ?

Since you asked, now I would like to know

Arista (Theo means allmost) bare can also mean Anthomyiidae. More slender species. But not on these pictures, that's quite clear.

I?ve read there is a exception in tachinidae, but I?m not sure if it?s exoristinae or just exorista they have the arista not bare; I still have no lenses, maybe next week I?ll see

thanks everybody Smile

The exceptions are Dexiini and some Tachininae, Thelaira being the most prominent example. Dexiinae have, in general, long legs and a distinct longitudinal facial keel. But my advice is: start understanding Sarcophaginae, then you will pick out Dexiini in due time.
