Hi,
I took a picture of a medium-sized fly on ivy blossoms at a birch tree in our garden.
The spines at the end of the abdomen seems to suggest that this could be a Tachinidae. Is that correct and is it possible to narrow that down any further?
Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 15.10.2021, app. 8-10 mm
Greetings, Uli

Hi Uli, I think it's a Linnaemya cf. picta.

Hi Eric,
thank you for the identification. That looks really good, especially the light brown scutellum, which was puzzling me.
Thanks & greetings, Uli

Tibiae look dark, as does the humerus and I don’t see any red on abdominal tip. Difficult to be sure, but L. tessellans seems more likely to me.
