Hello all,
Can anybody tell me something more about this black tachinid which sat on or wall in the house?
Picture taken 07-07-2010 in Hasselt, Belgium.
Thank you all!

And a slightly other angle...

Interesting ... not entirely sure that it isn't a rhinophorid but do you have any more angles that show the head better? :)

Isn't this Paykullia maculata?

Could very well be :) The wing veins do look shaded.

Thanks guys! :)
Here's a bigger crop of the head. That's all I have. :(

I'm kicking this one up again, because I saw this one when I was reviewing the Rhinophoridae in my collection and on waarneming.be. I suggested this one is more consistent with Stevenia then Paykullia - I may be wrong of course ...
I guess the best thing would be to see the head; but the lack of a clear band in the middle of the wing seems for me better for Stevenia. Any other opinions ? Joris
