Hi, Yesterday I met a fly that superficially resembled a Calliphora but obviously wasn't. I thought of a Melinda, but this taxon shouldn't have a bare arista and hairy eyes. Furthermore, my fly has a very bristly abdomen. So I declare it a Tachinid and wonder if you agree or supply a name! Many thanks, Sundew PS. I just read something about Phryxe - comes close, but there is no brownish scutellum tip... Sundew attached the following image:  [140.58Kb] Edited by Sundew on 17-07-2009 20:33 |

Certainly a tachinid - looks like Epicampocera succincta to me
