This is the last of the flies that I've found last Saturday at Sabi?anigo, Aragon, Spain (Pre-Pyrenees). It's sucking flowers of Angelica archangelica in open shrubland dominated by Ligustrum vulgare with Thymus vulgaris, Linum narborense, genista scorpius and others. Near are a train line and maybe at 150 metres of a small river. The fly is big, such as the biggest Sarcophaga or such as a Tachina fera: maybe 13-14 mm. I hope that the pictures can be enough for identify it.  Theo? Help! Thanks  |

It's a good guess Nikita and I agree it looks pretty like an Exorista but I wouldn't like to put my name to an ID based on just that photo |

Difficult to see, but my guess would be Exorista as well, E.larvarum or associated species. Theo |
