I found this specimen on July 8th in the east of the Netherlands (Achterhoek). I did expect it wouldn't be too difficult to get a name for this one, but it's more difficult than i expected. After going through a key i think it has to be a Tachinidae, but i can't find a single photo which looks like the specimen i saw. Is it possible to get a name for this specimen? I've got a few more pictures if needed. xenion attached the following image:  [97.17Kb] |

No, this is Muscidae. Probably species of Morellia. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thanks Nikita. The pattern on the thorax is right for Morellia? Because the few pictutes i can find of that species look different to me. |

Splendid picture style-wise, by the way.

To tell you truth I didn't like idea about Morellia too, but I couldn't find any better possibilities. This dorsal reflections on Muscidae are always tricky  Coming back to this fly I have another guess (but guess only) Myospila meditabunda Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [41.92Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I'd rather go with Myospila also, or even Brontaea seeing the few narrowed r4+5 cell and infuscated wings. Also a guess... Stephane. |
