Hello all, Can anybody tell me something more about this black tachinid which sat on or wall in the house? Picture taken 07-07-2010 in Hasselt, Belgium. Thank you all! Don Micro attached the following image:  [105.95Kb] Edited by Don Micro on 07-07-2010 14:47 Kim Windmolders |

Interesting ... not entirely sure that it isn't a rhinophorid but do you have any more angles that show the head better?

Could very well be The wing veins do look shaded.

I'm kicking this one up again, because I saw this one when I was reviewing the Rhinophoridae in my collection and on waarneming.be. I suggested this one is more consistent with Stevenia then Paykullia - I may be wrong of course ... I guess the best thing would be to see the head; but the lack of a clear band in the middle of the wing seems for me better for Stevenia. Any other opinions ?
