This is an old photo from 31/03/17. I didn't estimate the fly's size at the time but it is on a hawthorn leaf. It was taken in Bournemouth in the south of England in a hedgerow setting some 2km from the sea. From the bristles and wing venation I think it is a Tachinid but I am still very new to identifying flies so any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it is a Tachinid: Macquartia dispar or viridana male, most likely the first.

Many thanks, Macquartia dispar is what I had matched it to but it is good to have a second opinion.

Are you sure about the date, 31th of March ? If so, what would the leaves be ?

Yes, the date is correct. The leaves are Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna which comes into leaf towards the end of March in the south of England.

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank
