I think I'd go with Tachina fera - yellow front feet and narrow frons

ChrisR, thanks for your comment - obviously I was too much focussed on the abdominal pattern  Best regards, Marc By the way: (how) can I modify the headline of the thread to avoid misleading? Do you have an idea??? |

Hi Marc, just Edit the first post in the thread and you can change the subject/title there  The abdominal pattern is largely irrelevant when identifying that group of Tachina spp.
