Hello Forum,
I think, it should be a Tachinidae. Wrong? Closer ID possible? Hagen, NRW, Germany, alder marshland, 175msm, April 13th 2009, length: 5mm
Best regards, Josef

At least, Tachinidae should be right. Who can confirm?

Looks like a tachinid to me - possibly
Meigenia but I have been proven wrong with a guess like that this Spring already ;) In Europe you have so many species that I never see or think of as very rare :)

Resembles Cleonice callida for me or something like it. At least head too long, too many dorsocentrals on thorax and depression on tergite 2 weakly developed for Meigenia:)

Sounds well-reasoned :D I have never seen
Cleonice callida - it is too rare here :(

Pity we don't have a lateral shot,
It is reminscent of a smaller Macquartia, however, the apical scutallar birstles are lacking, so I'm inclined to believe that Cleonice is a serious candidate.
