I found this hairy fly close to my purported Sepsid. It's sitting on
Anthriscus sylvestris, which shows it's a small fly. Is an ID possible, or a genus/family?
Taken today in Amstelveen, the Netherlands. Close to ditch and gardens.

Tachinidae?? very large calipters, vrey bristly, bend in M vein, just the size seems to be very small to Tachinidae. But I will put it as tachinid

Looks like
Phania funesta

I'd certainly say
Phania and probably
funesta but that's just because it is the commonest species (by a long way). :) There are other species but we can't see enough details from the photos to be able to say for sure :(

Thanks all! This will do, I'd expected it to be a Tachinid, but this is really close to an ID!

Well, we only have funesta, all other species only once or twice, so don';t worry, this is funesta.
