Found this under a loose piece of wood close to the beach in Bodø, northern Norway 04.05.2012.

Size approx. 4-5 mm. Is it Tachinidae?

Phorocera obscura? Are the genitalia huge?

This is the first time I've catched a Tachinidae for closer study, I'm not sure if the genitalia are larger than normal or not... Have one shot from underside of the genitalia.

Could we get some more detail from the head, lateral shot ?

Thanks
