Hi, In a wood I came across this nice Tachinid today. Is it perhaps a Thelaira nigripes? Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [158.49Kb] |

Yes - looks good to me  Big eyes, plumose arista & 2-3 anterodorsal bristles on middle tibia.

Thank you, Chris - but in all my pics I could not spot a plumose arista, even at maximum magnification... |
