This last fly emerged also from a Cerura iberica caterpillar collected in a marshy meadow at 400 mts., in Vigo (NW Spain). Thanks once more for your identification if possible.
Not to sure weather its a taquinid or a muscid fly.

Can you show it from different angles? There's no way to see the wing venation from this photo. Alternatively, if you rear out tachinids then I'd be happy to key them if you send them to me.
