Hi,

sunbathing on a path in a park in Vienna (April). Can the ID be confirmed?

Best,
Lorin

It is Kirbya.
Difficult to say which one (we have 2)

Thanks, Theo.

Accoring to Fauna Europaea, K. unicolor is absent from Austria - this might not be too reliable, but I could not find any resources mentioning its occurrence in Austria.

For Tachinidae, fauna europaea is pretty decent .

Hi, want to bring this thread up again. As it is a female, the Tschorsnig-key mentions for K. unicolor on tergite 4 "the marginal bristles are missing completely". So this should definetly be K. moerens in my opinion.
Cheers, Lorin
