Well, in England I'd call it Tachina fera  but there are alternatives in Europe - eg. T.magnicornis and I'd probably defer to someone like Theo to have the final word - i'll bookmark this for him to look at later  |

Difficult to tell from the pictures. Most likely fera, but somewhat intermediate. Theo |

Thank you for your comment Theo and Chris! What detail of the fly makes it to a Tachina fera? I have more pictures of this fly, also from other directions.. Perhabs that can shine a light on it? I show you here the fly more from above, there you see the black stripe better on the abdomen greeting robert, Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [117.3Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 30-07-2006 21:26 |
