More like conopidae, it seems to me ...
Cheers

Yes, I think it is a Conopidae too. Tachinids are "fatter".

Hmm, they look like tachinids to me - something around
Cylindromyia,
Lophosia or maybe a
Mintho relative ... interesting but would like to see different angles :)

Of course these are tachinids. Wing venation is completely off for conopids. General built reminds me of
Cylindromyia.

Yes, now it looks more like
Cylindromyia rufipes but I'm not sure if there are alternatives in your region :)

At least:
C. rufipes, brevicornis, pilipes, xylotina, crassa, scapularis, aurora and rubida. I have excluded the specs that i can see at the gallery and don't feet.
Thanks

I can also exclude
C.brevicornis and
C.pilipes - I have those in my collection and they have a lot of red on the abdomen ;) I think
C.rufipes is one of the only ones with an entirely black abdomen but I am just not 100% sure if it is *the* only one.

Yes, it is unbelievable but true, there are easy Cylindromyia's, like these rufipes (as long as you stay in Europe, see my note in the Yemen publication).
