Is it possible to confirm that this tachinid from Samos is G. nudifrons rather than rotundatum. It looks very like the ones I photographed in Corsica last year that Theo identified as nudifrons. http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=30714 24.8.11 6mm Samos, Greece. nick upton attached the following image:  [101.31Kb] Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

It is neither, more like clavatum or dolycoridis. Theo |

Many thanks Theo. You must be seeing very subtle characters which I'm overlooking. I know this is a very tricky genus with just photos to go on and these are small and fast moving and hard to get really clear shots of! And it was windy, which never helps..
