This is a tachinid (Estonia - 14.5.2005) that keys awkwardly in T&H and I am not sure about the under-curved post-abdomen. Can this be Campylocheta praecox?

Large undercurved genitalia are distinctive in Campylochaeta and species specific. Theo |

Excellent - thanks  Looks a good ID then ... once at Campylocheta it runs pretty easily in T&H ... I just wasn't sure about those genitalia as I hadn't seen them before
