This tachinid was awfully difficult to photograph, I hope it will get an ID .location: Barcelos, Portugal date: 24/07/2008     |

It probably also awfully difficult to identify. It's not Goniini / Eryciini, since the praealar bristle is clearly short. The projecting mouth margin, long proboscis and erect apical scutellar bristles, together with several ad bristles on tibia 2, then suggests some species of Bithia. Which is a notoriously difficult genus. Theo |

Nice! An ID of the genus is enough, thanks Theo . |

I think Theo wouldn't call it an "ID" ... more a "suggestion" ... there's a BIG difference  |

Ok eheheheh, I will register it as "possibly Bithia". Thanks for the correction Chris |
