so it surprised me, I'll change the title


thank you for answering Gabor

Hmm, reminds me of Paracraspedothrix montivaga but I wouldn't like to commit to that ID because I haven't seen them alive ... only floating around in alcohol or on the end of a pin! Grin

I've looked at http://tachinidae.org.uk and there are some picutres of Paracraspedothrix montivaga.

I see it got also these white patterns on the thorax and abdomen.
