I've only one photo of this tachinid fly. It has the size of an Ernestia rudis or Blepharipa pratensis.
Photo 19-5-2014, Bergen, The Netherlands.

I could believe Blepharipa. Let's wait for Theo to confirm though :)

Thanks Chris I will wait. Mostly it's not a problem to recognize Blepharipa pratensis when I see this fly in our garden. But this one I had seen for some seconds, it was disappeared after the photo.

Today I saw another Blepharipa pratensis. This time I had more time to look and to photograph.

Yes, that is a sound call.

Never realized that Blepharipa might look like Panzeria rudis !
But it does in this picture, (but it isn't)

:| Panzeria rudis = Ernestia rudis.
A woman this time? I had some doubts, but I saw no other possibility.
I was so happy that I recognized the male Ernestia rudis the last time. And now I'm wrong again.
Thanks Theo!

Yes Panzeria = Ernestia

Ahh, I'm confused Theo - which are you agreeing with? Is this Blepharipa?

It is Blepharipa, as you suggested. Chris

I'm confused too, but I'm glad I wasn't wrong after all. :)
