Hi,
can anyone suggest a species this Tachinidae?
I take the photo on 28 July 2010 Kokkola, Finland.

Interesting ... it has black fore tarsi so it shouldn't be T.fera ... so my first guess would be T.magnicornis but the frons doesn't look very wide either, so I am not sure.

Based on the hairs on the head and the colour and shape of the antenna, looks like fera to me. Note that the metatarsus is red.
