Hello,
what is the right family of this fly? Is further ID possible? The last part of the abdomen looks characteristic.
Sorry, for the bad picture.
Thank you,
Marion

Females of some Phasiinae, e.g.
Leucostoma, have those claspers on the tip of the abdomen.

Thank you very much for ID, John.
I changed the title. This fly is my first tachinid with such abdomen tip.
Can I further restrict, e. g. to Leucostomatini or to a genus?
Best wishes,
Marion

The only long, slim
Leucostoma I know of is
L. aterrimum, which is black. Very black, if you believe the species name. I could not find a key to Tachinidae of your region.

Right. All Leucostoma are black.
This is another Leucostomini:
Brullaea ocypteroidea.

Stephane pointed correctly out that this is a female Clairvillia.

Thanks for this message, Theo. I found the thread where it was identified as Clairvillia biguttata.
The fly is in the Diptera Gallery and should be renamed.
