Definitely a tachinid and as an educated guess I'd say Nemoraea pellucida ... but leave it for Theo to say if I am right

I agree with you both ! Nemoraea pellucide (male, the female is completely black !) spectacular fly indeed. Theo |

My guess was based on the fact that the only one I ever saw was dead on a tarmac road in the south of France - so it looked remarkably like the above photos!! |

Well, if you can ID flies you never saw (Lecanipa), this one must have been easy then, Chris ? Theo |
