 Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 02/08/2024 Altitude : 40 m - Taille : 7 mm (estimation) Réf. : 352828 Hello, I found this Tachinidae during the summer in a small urban park in Lille (north of France). I was astonished and intrigued when seeing the profile of the head. So I would like identify the insect. I am aware that the photo is not very precise but is it still possible to designate a genus ? Thank you for your opinions. Dominique |

Hello Dominique, if my eyes don't deceive me it's probably a male Eriothrix rufomaculata.
Greetings, Eric |

Many thanks, Eric, for your almost unexpected response. Definitely with this fly I go from surprise to surprise because, honestly, I did not expect a species to be identifiable, and I had eliminated the genus Eriothrix because of the often reddening abdomen for this genus, but apparently I was wrong !

If you look through the wing and barely above you may see the red side of the abdomen (female's abdomen is more distinctly red). And I think I see the petiolate R5 at the wing edge, too.
Greetings, Eric |
