Hello,

this ~7mm tachinidae with the broad thorax is from beginning of july from a garden in western germany. Can the species or the genus be identified?

Thanks,
Michael

It is not a tachinid,but a Miltogramminae (Sarcophagidae):
male Metopia spec.
Impossible to be sure which species, most likely rondaniana
