Hello Forum, I think, it should be a Tachinidae. Wrong? Closer ID possible? Hagen, NRW, Germany, alder marshland, 175msm, April 13th 2009, length: 5mm Best regards, Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [175.94Kb] |

At least, Tachinidae should be right. Who can confirm? |

Looks like a tachinid to me - possibly Meigenia but I have been proven wrong with a guess like that this Spring already  In Europe you have so many species that I never see or think of as very rare

Resembles Cleonice callida for me or something like it. At least head too long, too many dorsocentrals on thorax and depression on tergite 2 weakly developed for Meigenia

Sounds well-reasoned  I have never seen Cleonice callida - it is too rare here

Pity we don't have a lateral shot, It is reminscent of a smaller Macquartia, however, the apical scutallar birstles are lacking, so I'm inclined to believe that Cleonice is a serious candidate. Theo |
