I cannot get this fly through the Tachinid key, making me wonder whether it is even a Tachinid! Presumably the extra r-m cross vein is just an aberration on this individual? From woodland edge in NE England this week.

The extra crossvein is an odd aberration. Otherwise, it is Pelatachina tibialis!

Thanks, Theo. Very dull of me, as the legs rather suggest that species (!)...when I get home I'll see where I was going wrong.
