Caught this fly today (14-10-2011) in the Netherlands. Using the keys, i arrive at
Appendicia truncata. Which seems a reasonable fit. However, there are two things that do not fit:
1. The costal spine is to short
2. The wrong time of the year (flies from may to June in 1 generation)
What is wrong?
Thanks in advance

Strongly protruding mouth-edge, densely hairy eyes and yellow basicosta on a tachinid that looks like this should always indicate
Linnaemya, in Europe :)
PS: mine don't have a hairy parafacial.

Chris, thanks for your reaction.
Rerunning the key brings me to
Linnaemya indeed :). I went wrong in judging the position of the bristles on the humeral callus.
Finally it seems to be
Linnaemya picta.
