Hi,
found on 01-August-2020 on a dirt road with surrounding trees near a lake, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Altrheinsee Eich", near Mainz
Can it be further identified?
Many thanks and regards,
Stella

You have been misled by the grey apppearance ! Bend in vein M is very gentle and moreover Tachinidae with such a narrow vertex are rare. This is a Muscidae: Muscina. Note the red tip of scutellum.

Practice makes perfect ! Of course, the official feature of swollen postscutellum can never be seen on pictures, so we need to seek other resources.

Try the galleries as well.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
