 I found this hairy fly close to my purported Sepsid. It's sitting on Anthriscus sylvestris, which shows it's a small fly. Is an ID possible, or a genus/family?

Taken today in Amstelveen, the Netherlands. Close to ditch and gardens.

 I'd certainly say Phania and probably funesta but that's just because it is the commonest species (by a long way). Smile There are other species but we can't see enough details from the photos to be able to say for sure Sad

 Thanks all! This will do, I'd expected it to be a Tachinid, but this is really close to an ID!

 Well, we only have funesta, all other species only once or twice, so don';t worry, this is funesta.
