Hi,

This little black fly took a rest on the wall of our house in the late afternoon.

I would guess it could be a tachinid fly (Periscepsia sp?). Can that be confirmed or excluded from the attached image and/or is a narrower determination possible ?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 04.07.2023, app. 6 mm

Greetings, Uli

Rhinophoridae, probably Melanophora roralis (male): https://diptera.i...oto_id=526

Male Melanophora roralis is correct!
