...and this Tachinid has apparently transparent wings? Unfortunately I could only shoot one picture of it. Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany, meadow, 2004-08-03 Ingrid Altmann attached the following image:  [58.21Kb] |

Correct. The other Eriothrix should look different (haven't seen any, though). In the North as well as in the Alps there is a superficially really similar looking rare species Minthodes picta, but that has yellow legs and bare eyes (see gallery). |

Yes, the other Eriothrix we have here (prolixa) is smaller and browner/greyer without the bold red side patches and no petiole.
