 Big surprise for me. Doesn't looks like typical tachinid.
I suspect C.pygmaea, because black antennae.
Thanks a lot

 You also have Melanophora roralis with similar wing, but the legs are black.

 The colouration of legs is surprisingly variable.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
