Tachinid fly.

Tachina cf. magnicornis?? Not Tachina fera, I think!



This is, I think, a new emerged fly Wink , and as Tony Irwin said before: "All "higher" flies have an inflatable sac - the ptilinum. They fill it with fluid to create a hydraulic ram with which they can push open the puparium to emerge. After emergence, the sac deflates and is retracted into the head. The only sign it was there is the suture above the antennal bases and down the sides of the face - the ptilinal suture. This is true of all the acalyptrates and calyptrates (..)"


you can see that this fly has calypters. Look at the base of wings. You can see two pales white "things" - they are calypters. Wink So this is a calyprate fly. Smile

Thanks Jorge, Paul and Theo.
I thought in the first place also Tachina magnicornis but had a problem with the nose.
