Hi,
This fly from yesterday evening puzzles me. I often took a red-eyed tesselate Sarcophagid for a Tachinid, but in this case I really tend to Tachinidae, because:
- arista is not plumose;
- no small parafacial setulae;
- thorax has four vittae;
- wing vein M1+2 has no sharp bend and only a tiny appendix;
- eyes seem to be short-haired...
So what can it be? Any help is welcome! (Location is southwestern Germany, 20 km west of Stuttgart.)
Thanks, Sundew

So a Tachinid indeed, very good. Thank you, Theo!
