I keyed this Tachinid with Chris & Matt's test version of Belshaw. I can't get it to key out successfully though. The closest I have got is Eumena, which does not look right (from a photo I have seen).
Any suggestions?

Eumena does not exist. Maybe you meant Eurithia ?
COuld we get a lateral shot, please

I forgot to mention this is an early season fly - 21 April. A couple more views.
I meant Eumea, not Eumena (sorry about that)

IT's not Exoristinae, but more Tachininae.
If it is about 8 mm long, from april and the vertex is rather narrow: Lypha dubia.

Thanks Theo, I'll check this out and see where I have gone wrong in the key.:)

Let me know, it could be something else. For some reason, I have trouble to get it from these pics.
