Dear forum, I took this picture today in my garden. The shape makes me think of Tachinidae but I find the back not enough "spiky" Is it a Tachinid and can it be further identified? Best regards, Niek Niek van Wijk attached the following image:  [133.43Kb] |

This is Pollenia (Calliphoridae).

I agree - Pollenia - see the wavy, golden hairs on the thorax and that chequered pattern on the abdomen - very distinctive  |
