Hello,

This one is from last week, Heerlen. It doesn't look very distinctive but I hope you can make something out of it.

Although I'm not an expert on Tachinidae, this one looks distinctive enough for me to guess it is Ernestia anthophila, because of the protruding mouth edge, the dusting on tergites 2 and 3 and the lack of dusting on tergite 4.

Yeah, Eurithia anthophila would be my guess because it is the commonest of the species that look like this. However, dusting is a tricky feature to go on, in my experience. With this group I prefer to always check the male genitalia, which are very spectacular and very easy to distinguish ... except in photos!! Grin

Okay,

Thanks to you both for your help, and my apologies to the animal for calling it undistinctive.

Congratulations, Menno and Chris, with the identification.

I also have no doubt this is Eurithia anthophila.
Common on Heracleum and other umbelliferae in August

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank

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