The orange scutellum seems unusual, so I'm hoping it's distinctive.

Bosham, West Sussex, UK.

Amongst nettles etc, in shade of mature oak, between wheatfield and deep drainage ditch.

Housefly sized or thereabouts (7-9mm?)

17 May 2012.

Could be Huebneria sp?

(Edit - updated title from "Tachinidae" to "Carcelia tibialis" in response to sd's suggestion)

Above. Composite, so some dimensions may be off slightly.

More likely to be Carcelia tibialis. I've seen a few this week.

Thank you, updating title to match.

It's so much faster for British species, there are some benefits to being the most urbanised country in the world...

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
