This one keyed badly in T&H but having taken it through again tonight I think it might be Platymya fimbriata - the calyptrae have blackened inner margins.  French Pyrennes - 3.vii.2002

Yes Black inner brim of calyptra is distinctive. Theo |

Thanks Are there any other European tachinids with this feature? (other that in Cylindromyia)

In Eumea inner edges of the calypterae as well could be darkened, ratio of costal sections is probably a better character..

This is an irritatingly abundant fly here and lacks any general features to identify on field...

Erikas is right on the costal sections. I often first rule in/out Eumea, which is easy due to 5 vittae on thorax and 2 x 2 discal setae on each tergite. And then... comes the remark on the black edged calyptra. Theo |
