Hi All This rather attractive fly seen on heathland in Cheshire North West England during September . If it is not possible to get down to species level genus or family would be a help. Sorry for any mistakes in my first posting hopefully I have got it correct this time. Cheers Harry wirralbirder attached the following image:  [43.55Kb] |

Change the title to Tachinidae and the right people will see it! Stephen. |

Linnaemya vulpina is the most likely on heathland - pity the femur isn't visible but I don't think we have another species with so much red colouration on the abdomen
