I know not to expect a species level identification with one of these, there's just not enough detail. But can anyone help narrow it down to a genus? Thanks, Sandy Sandy attached the following image:  [160.67Kb] Edited by Sandy on 05-10-2010 08:22 |

Looks like Voria ruralis to me  EDIT: ... from the steeply angled m-cu, hairy r1 and lack of median discals ... plus a few other things

Distributions are a bit difficult to resolve because we don't have many recorders from the north - but they are one of the commoner tachinids in the UK so I wouldn't be surprised if they were found quite often up there too
