Hello, ever-patient specialists ! (and the other ones too)
Here is a Tachinid which I could not really place by looking to the gallery. It has strong similarities, it seems to me, with several species illustrated there , but I could not find a real match.
8 mm.
Bois de Lauzelle, Louvain la neuve Belgium
April 21 2008

Thanks for your help
Philippe

Note the elongated abdomen: Phorocera obscura, see recent threads on this species.

Thanks again Theo.
Shame on me, but I freely confess to not reading all the posts : too many live insects around at the moment!

I don't blame you, I just try to explain why I do not comment more on the ID, as mentioned, you may find these comments in recent postings.
