Hi Guys, I think it's a Tachinid, perhaps Solieria?? John |

I agree, it has the facies of some Tachinids. But the calyptrae are small. So, .. it isn't (I know there are exceptions) My guess would be in Anthomyiidae or even just maybe a very aberrant Scatophagidae. Theo Zeeger |

Theo Zeeger Three sternopleural bristles can be clearly seen in this picture. Scatophagidae usually has one. Anthomyiidae have 2-4. Not that it is conclusive, but I think the best guess is Anthomyiidae. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
