Hello,
This tachinid was photographed in late June 2010 near border of Iran. Is it possible to identify?
Thanks a lot. Muhabbet

The head looks very distinctive and unusual but it doesn't remind me of anything ... over to Theo :)

If I saw this in the field, I would think

'?? Baumhaueria ??'

and

'!! catch !!'

Yes, that would be in my net before I'd even wondered whether it was worth catching ... just net it and decide to keep it later ;)
