Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinid of today 2: Kirbya moerens

Hi,
Today I saw three Tachinids in a flowering population of Draba verna (formerly Erophila verna), Brassicaceae. The location is in southwestern Germany, about 20 km west of Stuttgart.
Here I suppose to have photographed a male Kirbya moerens, because the third antennal segment is too short for Ramonda, Wagneria, or Periscepsia. The early flight time would fit, too. What do you say?
Thanks, Sundew
