Tachinid, not Bactromyia aurulenta but Winthemia speciosa!

I took a photo of this fly in 11 july in Southern Sweden, I thought it was a Tachinid and it looks a lot like Bactromyia aurulenta but it is more golden and the wing ribs doesn´t seem to fit. Can somone help me with the ID of this fly?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, thought so. Winthemia bohemani or similar.

Thanks Theo!

The legs are all dark. Very golden dusted. It looks very much like this one that was decided to Winthemia speciosa, se this thread: https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=71739&highlight=Winthemia+speciosa&pid=301985

Is it the 2 ad on the mid tibia that are visible on the front photo above?

What do you say?
Martin

Yes, that might very well be it. I was on holiday and had no access to my literature.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
