Hello all,
I found a nice small (8/9 mm) Tachinid just today on my balcony in Wageningen. I managed to take a few pictures, and I also collected the animal (if necessary for ID)
Can somebody tell me more about it?
Greetings, Gerard

Just to make a wild guess without checking my keys for once: somewhere near Dexia or Cylindromyia?

Andre s suggestion is understandable, but it actually is Mintho rufiventris (Tachininae: Minthoini).
Distinguishing features:
thorax with 2 broad black vitttae, abdomen distinctly laterally compressed, reddish as sides. Wing: topcel closed, bend of vein M with a long appendix.

Mintho rufiventris is not uncommon, mostly encountered on windows and walls !
