Hi
* locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL
* date - 2007.04.22
* size - 8 mm (medium fly)
* habitat - woodland, near river
* substrate - Heracleum sp.
* temperature - 30 ?C
no proclinate orbitals, yellow tarsi, and the interval between the eyes is distinctly less than width of 1 eye, so I think this is Tachina fera.

Little, round antenna 3 ... orange legs ... should be
Tachina at least, but not sure which one - you might have
magnicornis down there too, and maybe even more species not listed in the Central European key :)

hmm... magnicornis has black tarsi... perhaps this is other species. let?s go wait for Theo... i hope these images are enough to get species level.

I agree with Jorge
This should be fera.
Chris, they have praeceps as well, as some other species (casta).
So take care !!
