Hi,
Some days ago I saw this nice fly on a pasture east of Berlin. I thought of a Rhinophorid, but wing venation has no petiolus. So Tachinidae? But the head does not look very "tachinidish" to me... I am very courious to hear an expert's opinion!
Many thanks, Sundew

Gastrolepta anthracina seems correct. Wink
