Hi, I feel I should know that medium-sized fly I saw in a Berlin wood about a week ago, but it doesn't match anything in my Muscid photo collection. So help is greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [154.99Kb] Edited by Sundew on 25-05-2011 21:29 |

Ah - that means Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae or Sarcophagidae or Calliphoridae! However, I still have no idea. Where are the experts? |

I'm somewhat afraid since the tachinid men didn't answer, but in my opinion it is a Macquartia (Tachinidae).

That's interesting - I did not think of a Tachinid because of the small antennae. Thanks for the suggestion! |

And even more interestingly, it clearly has * 4 post DC *excavation in syntergite 1&2 complete. So it must be M. pubiceps. Rare species, congratulations. Theo |

Wow, Theo - you are so keen-eyed! What you see even in poor-quality photos is amazing. That encourages me to go on with photographing grey unimpressive muscid-like flies that may turn out to be something special. Many thanks indeed! |
