 Hello,

I saw this fly yesterday in my garden in Frankfurt, Germany. I think, it was around 1 cm. It was nearly yellow.
Could You help me?

 Hello Chris,

from the wing venation (no bent M-vein) this cannot be Tachinidae. As I already wrote (other forum), it is Muscidae or Anthomyiidae.
Best regards,
Jürgen

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
