I photographed this 1 cm tachinid fly on July 5th at Leerdam, Netherlands. Is it possible to tell which species or genus it is?
Thank you in advance.

Good call cosmln - densely hairy eyes, projecting mouth edge and yellow basicosta all say "
Linnaemya" :) but it is much harder to say which species it might be ;)

Given the locality, it should be L. tessellans.
