Hello,

these reddish 10 mm Tachinids were very abundant in the last two weeks in our courtyard on Solidago canadensis, Origanum vulgare and Eupatorium cannabinum (northwest Germany). They resemble the also numerous Tachina (cf.) fera there, but have blackish legs, and are obviously not Nowickia ferox (I still miss that species here).

I thought they were Peleteria rubescens, because I found that species here in spring. But after Volker's post recently and the replies of the experts, I'm not sure about the species anymore.
