Hi,

This one is close to the size of Tachina magnicornis. I have seen it yesterday in the avenue of Lauzelle, Louvain-la-neuve, on a flower field.

I believe it must be Nowickia ferox but I wait for your input.

Cheers,

Olivier

Yes, from what I can see it looks like Nowickia ferox Smile

Thanks Chris. I thought so because of the black legs.
