Hello again, Am I close if I call this one Tachinidae sp?! If not, what is it?  If so, can it get a full ID? Please forgive the poor image. 
Best regards, Iolaire |

Yes, it is a tachinid. But I don't know which one. |

Sorry - it looks like a tachinid but I'd need a much better photo to go further  |

Alright, I've tried some photoshopping, with mixed results. This is the best I can do (not really experienced with Photoshop, I have to say) Maybe some additional info might help: I found in the dunes of North Holland, an area with many pinetrees, fearns and ofcourse on sandy ground. Does this help? 
Best regards, Iolaire |

It reminds me of a Phorocera sp., because it seems to have hairy eyes and a long body, but I wouldn't put my name on that ID  |

Thanks Chris! Might Dinera sp be an option? Best regards, Iolaire |

I don't think it looks like Dinera ... but really, with a photo that it so out of focus we are just guessing so the value of any ID isn't very high |
