Another of the Diptera from my recent Bulgaria visit was this species which was also found at Popovi Livadi Pass on 3 August 2012. Despite the rather naked appearance (with respect to bristles) I think this is Tachinidae and possibly a Gymnosoma sp. I would welcome confirmation or correction of this as well as any suggestion of the actual species.

Many thanks as always

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
