Hello! These longlegged Tachinidae are rather common in our garden (northwest Germany) at the moment. I am not sure, whether the one on the last picture belongs to the same species. Its eyes meet in the middle (male?). All about 7 mm.

Hello, Jaakko and Chris! Thank you! I was wondering about Macquartia, but it seemed too slender for me after looking at photos in the gallery. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Macquartia grisea is more slender than others, very Muscidae-like. Theo |

There were several of them in the garden also this afternoon.

Well, that's my guess - they are usually very grey and slender, like your fly
