Seen on 11 April 2012 in the Netherlands in mixed dry forest open forest first on Betula stem later that day what I think was the same species now on Salix caprea flowers. Could this be a Meigenia Or am I far off the track? Regards, Jan Wind Jan Wind attached the following image:  [171.52Kb] Edited by Jan Wind on 19-01-2013 11:01 |

I know it seems hopeless, these grey Tachinids, but you are off indeed. It is Cyzenis albicans, very common in spring. Theo |

Yeah, Cyzenis was my first thought. It does look like a female Meigenia but (for Jan) it would need erect & parallel apical scutellar bristles.
