Photographed South west Norway, July 4th.
I'm not sure this is Tachinidae, maybe Muscidae?
Possible to ID?
Thanks!

OK, thanks Erikas.
Then I have a problem. More than 60 species in Norway.

lovely shot, but I don't think there's enough detail to be certain of genus

Thanks Oxycera!
I'm just shooting everything that could be a nice photo. Hopefully I'll get the creature named, but too often these flies turn out nameless.
But it's great to have this forum. You specialists are really doing a great job, helping amateurs like me.
