Hi

Finally I found my first (true) tachinid. Maybe in last weekend I spotted a tachinid like this one...

EDIT: Now I believe this can be a rhinophorid. It has clearly a petiole (there are tachinids with petiole though) but this has small calypters hence I think this can be a rhinophorid.
This is rather dark fly. Coal colour.

It measures about 7 mm. The head (lateral view) measures 1 mm.
I will show the body photo more later.


EDIT 2: Maybe a Wagneria sp. according to the Chris Raper

Close up and sharp enough. You just have to work a little more with your lighting technique. Check out Tony T's postings. Cool

the lighting issue --- I need a better diffuser. The diffuser I use is very good for SIgma lens, but for this lens is not enough. I will build a home-made diffuser.
A new flash would be welcome. Or a reflector with this flash so the other side of the eye can be illuminated better.
And there are no any stacks here. Pfft

this last photo was taken by the compact Fuji just to show the way I put the labels. I use vegetal paper that is very good and better than the normal paper because if we put in ethanol there is no damage for the paper! I used edding 800 ink that is great and can support easily even ethanol 95% Grin

The vegetal paper doesn't slide in the pin which is great too.
I use a wooden box with plastazote foam as you can see.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
As you know the fly has 7 mm.

It is Wagneria, however, this is a very difficult genus in which I have restricted experience (southern genus), so I'm not gonna speculate on the species level.
