I thought it might be Gymnosoma rotundatum but I have changed my mind - a band of dusting going the length of the thorax on the males might suggest something like dolycoridis. Anyway, they are very very difficult and I'd prefer to see a specimen because the genitalia are quite distinctive  Theo might be able to say more.

I agree. It's not rotundatum, it might very well be dolycoridis but given the not completely sharp pic, I can't exclude clavatum. Theo |

Hi Edith Since is another specimen, since it's female, and the first is male. Please try to post pics of the same specimen only in order to prevent confusion. Theo |

Hi Edith There's no real problem - except Gymnosoma are very difficult and your photos don't show us anything that says what is it 100%. So, at the end we really can't say more than just "Gymnosoma" Chris R. |

Well, I know I'm annoying but I'm trying to be very precise, since identifying Tachinidae is difficult enough as it is: It's good to know these two were in copula, however, it does not necessarily follow that they are the same species ! So, my request remains, please be sure that repeated pictures are really of the same individual or, alternatively, make a remark that they are not. Otherwise I loose track. Thanks Theo |
