Hi,

yesterday I took a few pictures of a medium-sized fly on the blossoms of Solidago canadensis in our garden.

The spines at the end of the abdomen seems to suggest that this could be a Tachinidae. Is that correct and is it possible to narrow that down any further?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 17.08.2023, app. 6-8 mm

Greetings, Uli

Hi Uli, you are right: it's a male Eriothrix rufomaculata (Tachinidae).
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
