Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Tachinidae (?) from Vorarlberg / Austria

Hello,

This picture was taken some days ago in the Rhine Valley (Vorarlberg, Austria). I think, the animal belongs to the family Tachinidae, but I have no idea, which species it might be. Perhaps anybody can help me.

best wishes
Georg

That's no Tachinid - wing venation doesn't match. Might be a Coenosia (Muscidae).
BTW - welcome to the forum! Try to get photos from different angles; especially for Tachinid ID it is important to see all leg bristles, bristles on the scutellum, mouth parts etc.
