Hello!
This 12 mm Tachinidae rested on a blackberry leaf at the forest border four days ago (northwest Germany). ID possible?

Many thanks again! I did not hope to get a species name for such a dull grey one... B)

The body shape & colour - plus the shaded rm vein and the tiny antennae are all pretty conclusive :)

If you know it... ;) Now, that I have looked at several pictures of the species, I also find it rather distinctive.
