Sorry, but those are two different species.

Have a look at the colouration of the legs.

Ahhh Sorry folks, it was a busy patch of flowers and I must have lost track of the one i was photographing.

So I have changed the 2nd photo to the same species and uploaded the other as the 2nd photo in a new thread. The computors were most unhelpful. I changed the name of the original second photo here from Tachinid05b to Tachinid06b and created by downsizing a new Tachind05b and a Tachinid06a, then I deleted the old Tachinid05b from this thread and uploaded the new file, only it came up as the same imageB).

So I deleted it again and uploaded it again, just in case I had accidentally uploaded the new Tachinid06b instead, but again it loaded the old file:|, obviously it is not accessing it from my hard drive as it should be. So I deleted it again, and then uploaded the new thread with the old Tachinid05b image now as Tachinid06b, and then came back to this one and uploaded the new Tachinid05b.
Only I didn't get it again, instead I got the old Tachinid05b:(. Finally I gave up and renamed the Tachinid05b file Tachinid05c and uploaded that and at last the computor found the correct file. Most annoying and time wasting.:@

Could have been a simple caching error with your computer's browser. A hard reload (Ctrl-F5) might have solved it...

So, all I see now is a male Gymnosoma spec.
Not possible to say more.

Thanks

Dear Theo,
Can you rule out any of the following, or do they all look the same.

Gymnosoma dolycoridis
Gymnosoma rotundatum
Gymnosoma rungsi
