Hello everyone, I took this picture today on some beautiful umbels. I think the fly is 7-8mm long and it is a Tachinidae. I'm thinking of the genus Clytiomya (white bristles on the pleurae) but the legs are not completely black and on all the photo of C. continua legs are black. Maybe an other species ? Location : North of France (Flines-les-Mortagne)

Hello Julien, yes - the partly yellow legs exclude Clytiomya and it's abdominal hairs should be distinctly raised, not prone. I think it's probably a female Ectophasia crassipennis.

E. crassipennis is very variable, but in your second image you can see, that sternite 7 seems to be bowed slightly forward.
