Hello! Some days ago in another thread a Tachina lurida was posted. Today I found a rather similar, but not identical (?) fly here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Is it also a Tachina species? It was a little bit smaller than the frequent T. fera.

Definitely a tachinid ... and looks like T.lurida to me. In England i'd have said it was a very late record for this species but in the Central European key it says they fly 'early April to mid June'. |

Many species (not only flies) are a little bit late this year, maybe because of the cold temperatures in March.

I agree: it is Tachina (subgenus Servillia if you like) lurida. You record is late indeed, but in The Netherlands I have three records even later (up till the beginning of July). Thanks for sharing the nice picture Theo Zeegers |
