Photos taken in Reading, UK, on 2012-07-17.

A small 'chunky' Tachinid with a reddish tip to its scutellum.

Any suggestions for the species?

Hmm, could it be Aplomya confinis?

Aplomya no way, may be a female Exorista larvarum..

WEll, my first impression was Aplomyia confinis, so I am curious to hear why that cannot be.
The eyes are hairy, by the way, in the second picture (so Exorista is quite unlikely)

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
