I found this Tachina on the last 4th of April feeding in flowers in Barcelos, Portugal. What species could it be?    |

Nice pictures! In Holland, I would say Tachina fera.., but I am also not a specialist and do not know anything about species in Portugal? Perhabs there is a 'Portugal Tachina' living? Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

It's a Tachina sp. and part of the 'fera group' but I wouldn't like to comment on an identification that far south in Europe - there are other very similar species down there  |

Joke - Peleteria have strong bristles between the lower edge of the eye and the vibrissae but Tachina do not (as in this one). |
