Hi,
Here's another job for the tachinid experts! This one has much more bristles than Nemorilla floralis, and the eyes seem to lack hairs. Locality is again Baltic Island of Usedom, photo taken in August.
Sundew (looking forward to ID)

My test: somewhere near Platymya?

---

The steeply angled m-cu vein and down-curved facial bristle mean it should be around Voria ruralis - or maybe Athrycia. :)

Voria is right (ruralis only species), since discal setae are lacking.

So this is the girl (? - looks fat enough to be female) of the boy of thread http://www.dipter...d_id=10686? I wouldn't have expected that, for he looks much darker and more homogeneous in colour... Also her head bristles seem to be much longer and scrubbier, and her frons is possibly not as dark as his forehead. This is to explain why there are two consecutive threads concerning the same species - sorry. Take it for a friendly provocation... Many thanks!

This is indeed a female.
The lightning of both series is very different, which makes is impossible in my opinion to really compare the colouration. The head bristles are very difficult to see in the male picture, it nearly fooled me.
Voria ruralis is very distinctive, fortunately for us.
