Hello again,
Am I close if I call this one Tachinidae sp?!
If not, what is it?:)
If so, can it get a full ID?
Please forgive the poor image.

Yes, it is a tachinid. But I don't know which one.

Sorry - it looks like a tachinid but I'd need a much better photo to go further :(

Alright, I've tried some photoshopping, with mixed results. This is the best I can do (not really experienced with Photoshop, I have to say):(
Maybe some additional info might help: I found in the dunes of North Holland, an area with many pinetrees, fearns and ofcourse on sandy ground.
Does this help?

It reminds me of a
Phorocera sp., because it seems to have hairy eyes and a long body, but I wouldn't put my name on that ID ;)

Thanks Chris!
Might
Dinera sp be an option?

I don't think it looks like
Dinera ... but really, with a photo that it so out of focus we are just guessing so the value of any ID isn't very high ;)
