Hello I think I found Tachina magna. Here are some pictures to help differentiate Tachina grossa. Even in nature to the eye is difficult, an impression only. Size 16 mm. pic1 christoophe attached the following image:  [83.6Kb] Edited by christoophe on 08-06-2011 12:21 |

It's possible but it does look a bit brightly-coloured for T.magna, which is normally almost black. But I have only ever seen 1 in a museum

To the eye it is black. With the camera red becomes very visible. |
