It was very actively nectaring so only these poor images but I'll be happy for a family ID. On an isolated Heracleum sphondylium in a Crataegus-lined path through fields full of Jacobaea vulgaris. +/- 10mm 5th Aug. 2021 Flensburg, N.Germany. 54°45'24.5"N 9°25'37.6"E Ray Perry attached the following image:  [180.47Kb] Edited by Ray Perry on 18-08-2021 08:07 |

Hi Ray, I think you should add Tachinidae to your thread's title to attract the expert. My first glimpse led to Phania but this doesn't seem to be right. Unfortunately I could not find a better fit. Do you have more pictures in other angles (even in worse condition) of this fly?

Peteina erinaceus it is! Thanks John  I had a suspicion for that but as it seems to be pretty rare I did not dare without more images. Greetings, Eric |

Great! Thanks again. Have never seen it before nor again. That Heracleum sphondylium was a magnet for so many different insects but unfortunately it's now gone to seed. |

Yes, that is what it is. Very rare in western Europe ( known from 1-2 localities in NL, at 7 km cycling from my home 😋) Theo |
