Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinidae

Photographed in my garden yesterday. My guess it is Tachinidae (veins, long hairs). Is there any clue to its further identity?
Spring in Holland, my country has been extremely dry and hot, so this species may fly later in 'normal' years.

Help much appreciated!

Cheers,
Hans

No Hans, it is male of Anthomyiidae.

Thanks a lot, Nikita. That makes it rather hopeless trying to find a name. But it will stop me looking in all the wrong places.

Cheers,

Hans
