Yeah - well done Grin it looks like N.ferox to me. It can only really be mistaken for Tachina fera but fera has brown legs and ferox has black legs, like yours. The general 'jizz' is easy though - ferox is usually slightly bigger, spikier and with really black markings, not just dark brown. In the field the contrast between the black and orange is really strong on ferox.

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
