I found this small (appr. 6 mm) tachinid fly on our terrace this morning. Is it possible to put a genus or species name to it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The eyes are bare, are they not.

Impossible to be sure, first impression is female Blondelia nigripes (which is very easy, if you can see the venter !)

Yes, the eyes seem to be bare. Unfortunately this was the only photo it allowed. I'll check again tomorrow morning, perhaps I can find it again.
Thanks so far, Theo.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
