This fly resembles a Phorocera (Tachinidae). But is it? I found it a few days ago in Bilthoven (Holland).

On waarneming.nl I got the suggestions Smidtia conspersa and Phorocera assimilis. Is it posssible to make a more or less certain id from this/a photo?
Kind regards

Yes, 100 % Phorocera,

Tachinidae are slightly too difficult for waarneming.nl, with all due respect.

Can't tell though, whether it is assimilis or a light obscura

Thank you, Theo.

And from now, I'll be cautious about where I ask what.


Kind regards
