Hi,
Sorry for these blurred pictures from 2 August 2011. In southern Brandenburg several Tachinids were feeding on Umbellifers, and here are two that were a bit smaller than the also present Graphomya maculata. They looked rather dark, the eyes were hairy, and the scutellum was a bit brownish. If the bad pictures allowed an educated genus guess I would be delighted.
Thanks in advance, Sundew

The best ones are from behind (and I do hope they show the same flies).
