Hi, I am not able to figure out what the exact family name of the robber fly as shown in the picture is. Can anyone give me a hint or clue to look further? I thought it was BRACHYRHOPALINAE. but that's not correct. Also the color of the eyes is somewhat strange to me. Kind regards, Richard Richard Fasen attached the following image:  [264.82Kb] Edited by Richard Fasen on 25-01-2020 16:23 |

Of course Danny is right but the other look-a-like species have never been recorded from the Netherlands, so so I think you can savely name this one T. atricapillus
