Hello!

Another fly which I am not sure about its family - Tachnidae or Calliphoridae? Photo taken on May 5 here in Germany. It was a rather large fly, bigger than Calliphoria.

Best regards,

This one is easier: the eyes are hairy and the arista is bare: therefore it is a Tachinid.
It looks rather like a Calliphorid given the narrow vertex and bulky appearence. This suggests the genus Ernestia. The crossed apical setae on the scutellum then fix the species:
Ernestia rudis


A common spring species (may) in coniferous forests.
(Host: Panolis)

Thanks a lot! Ernestia was my closest guess, too. But I was not sure because we have only a few coniferous trees here between mainly beeches and oaks. Nevertheless these flies are rather abunbant in spring.
Best regards,
Jürgen

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
