For this one, I'll try for a Muscidae, but with rather less certainty!   Thanks, Sarah |

Maybe, because it also could be Tachinidae. One of the experts on these will tell you more soon I think! Greetings, Gerard Pennards |

Thanks Gerard, I hadn't thought of Tachinidae for this one. There's still so much to learn! Sarah |

This is a Tachinid alright. But it seems ? am not familiar with the species. What is its size ? Peculiar features: topcel in wing close vertex very small legs rather long. This might suggest Dexiinae - Dexiini, but not at all sure. Theo Zeegers |

Uffa, this too a Tachinid  ? Looks like it's back to the school books for me. I'd say it was about 8 mm long, Sarah |

I'm sorry, can't help you. do remember that, although Tachinidae are frequently identified from pictures on this side, they are in general terms difficult to identify. I am simply not familiar with this species, so I have to pass. sorry Theo |

Not to worry Theo, it's good to know at least that it's a Tachinidae. Sarah |
