The grey pattern on thorax and abdomen looks very distinctive, yet no idea. Theo |

Could it be Phyto melanocephala? I always think they look like a cross between a tachinid and a sarcophagid, and it does have a petiole on the wing. |

Thanks, but I don't think, it is a Phyto melanocephala. I have this fly in the garden. They don't look similar. http://www.tuin-t...-11-5-.jpg When it was a Phyto, Theo had known. I look every day in the garden. But I don't see it again. Best regards, Thijs http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

Interesting observation. The calyptra are small, that supports Phyto (or Rhinophoridae in general). The abdominal pattern is very peculiar. However, the photo has been flashed. So maybe it is artificial ? Theo |

The photo hasn't been flashed Theo. I have placed the original photo on my site now. http://www.tuin-t...4-8-09.jpg This is what I saw that day. Thijs Edited by thijsdegraaf on 09-08-2009 11:58 http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

Suggestion Joke van Erkelens: Maybe Macronychia agrestis (old name Tachina agrestis) Is this possible? Regards, Thijs http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

I must admit, that going to species level, was to enthousiastic of me  , but Macronychia / Amobia could be a possibility.I know you gladly want to kwow this nice fly, so I hope you get a confirming of an expert! Joke van Erkelens |

We can't see many bristles, the topcell seems stalked but this might be an artifact of the picture, the light is curious,though not flashed, this one is beyond reasonable ID. Theo |

The suggestion that this fly might be a Macronychia has to be rejected. Macronychia species can have the midstripe black, but then the thinner sidestripes are continuing over the suture to the second post DC. Also I do not think that the short stalk of the topcell is an artifact, because the wings are in flat horizontal position. I think we have to look for Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae.
