Hello,

this tachinid has too few particular characteristics for me. What species or genus is it? (found in western germany 3 weeks ago).

Thanks,
Michael

Looks a bit like a Meigenia, with that shape and long "hairy bristles" on the abdomen... but I agree, it is very anonymous :( This is the kind of fly that a good microscope and keys were made for ;)

Thank you for your answer. I searched in old threads and yes, it looks like Meigenia.
