Hello!

Another Tachinidae (9-10 mm) from a hedge (northwest Germany). Very prominent chin.

Linnaemya sp. (densely hairy eyes, protruding mouth edge & yellow basicosta) with dark legs so probably impossible to go further :)

Thanks, that genus seems rather abundant here in late summer and autumn.

They can be confused with Eurithia sp. but the basicosta is a different colour :) The commonest dark Linnaemya is usually L.tessellans but mere probability is not a good way to identify something ;)
