I collected this Tachinidae in Terneuzen, the Netherlands, 17 May. When I try to key it, I arrive at Blepharomyia, but I doubt this because my specimen has darkened crossveins unlike the species of Blepharomyia we have in the Netherlands. The eyes are long haired, arista without any long hairs.

Hi Niles,
are the ocellars reclinate or is that just me ?
Big clue for Campylochaeta !

Hi Theo, they are divergent and also slightly reclinate. There are hairs on the upper half of the parafacial area and the crossvein m-cu is about two-thirds the length of the cubital vein between it and the wing margin. So it should be a quite late
Campylochaeta praecox then.
