Thread subject: Diptera.info :: 2 tachinid flies - same species, but which?

Hi,
Today it was very cold, and the flies were slow. Light was bad, I had to use the flash. On house walls I found two nice Tachinids, obviously belonging to the same species (at least to me!). The arista looked somehow articulated. I wonder which name will be found.
Many thanks, Sundew

I'd prefer to see bigger photos, showing more detail but my guess on #1 would be
Blepharomyia pagana :) Possibly also #2 but I would prefer a confirmation from Theo ;)

Triathria setipennis would be my guess.

Damn - I missed that long arista-2 segment :(

Chris: do you really want still bigger photos, or did you simply forget to click on them :D? I can try to get detail magnifications, if you tell me what you need.
However, you obviously came to an agreement with Stephane, didn't you? So
Triathria setipennis, new for me - great! Thanks!

Hi - that's fine - I clicked but forgot to click again to maximize them - doh! Having a bad day here ... brain is still on holiday! ;) The long arista segments should be quite distinctive of
Triathria setipennis so it should be fine :)
