I saw this Tachinid near Slenaken, South Limburg, the extreme southern tip of the Netherlands on Hawthorn growing at chalk grassland. I suppose it is T. fera, but it is very bleak; I've seen them much more vividly coloured. Is it fera indeed, or should other options be considered?

It certainly looks good for T.fera  |

though the vertex is a little bit broad for a male fera. Can't seet the bristles on the head. Fera male is most likely, but not certain in my opinion. Theo |
