Hi Nikita and Theo,

Can the black backstripe tell whether it is fera or magnicornis?

Tachina fera - black stroke walks from broad to thin -(seen from head to back)

robert,

Oke, that suggests fera. This feature is, however, variable, as are all others.
Also use: colour of tarsi, colour of hairs on gena and parafacialia, shape and colour of third antennal segment.
Most of these suggest fera, in your case

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
