Similar to my other Stevenia, but at the same time different. May 29. Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [194.63Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 06-11-2010 17:44 |

More different than similar,I'd say. It is a Tachinidae, most likely somewhere in the Goniini / Eryciini complex, since the pre-alar bristle seems to be strong. Otherwise,I can't help you. Start collecting ! Theo |

But my knowledge is even behind the limited number of flies collected.It is still very misty, this Fly-World. Groetjes, André Edited by Andre Burgers on 06-11-2010 17:53 |

If it is a foggy day, don't despair, the sun will break through ! The calypter is large, so it could not be a Rhinophorid. Moreover, the topcel is open, so it couldn't be Stevenia. Please remember that there are 500 plus species of Tachinidae in Spain, 350 plus looking like this one at first glance (bristly and grey) ! Theo |
