Hi,
On 4th July I saw this Tachinid female on an inflorescence of Daucus carota. As to petiolate wing cell r4+5 and arista with trichia it recalls Estheria, but the two species I know till now are no good match. E. bohemani has a distinct petiole but a dark scutellum, and E. picta with a yellow scutellum has a very short petiole and darkend wing parts around R-M and other veins. So what about E. cristata?
Location was southwestern Germany, town of Weil der Stadt (native town of the great astronomer Johannes Kepler).
Thanks for any help, Sundew
