It was very actively nectaring so only these poor images but I'll be happy for a family ID.

Hi Ray, I think you should add Tachinidae to your thread's title to attract the expert. My first glimpse led to Phania but this doesn't seem to be right. Unfortunately I could not find a better fit. Do you have more pictures in other angles (even in worse condition) of this fly?

Peteina erinaceus it is! Thanks John TumbsUp
I had a suspicion for that but as it seems to be pretty rare I did not dare without more images.

Great! Thanks again. Have never seen it before nor again.
That Heracleum sphondylium was a magnet for so many different insects but unfortunately it's now gone to seed.

Yes, that is what it is.

Very rare in western Europe ( known from 1-2 localities in NL, at 7 km cycling from my home 😋)

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
