 I've been seeing quite a few of these over the last two weeks. I keep trying to key them using Belshaw and keep getting to key 106 and then it all goes wrong. Any help appreciated.

 Looks like a muscid to me, not tachinid Smile

Firstly, go back to basics and check for a subscutellum and hypopleural bristles Smile
