Hi, is this Tachina magnicornis? Found yesterday, Aug. 16th 2012 in my garden close to Hamburg.
Thanks, Marc

I think I'd go with Tachina fera - yellow front feet and narrow frons ;)

ChrisR, thanks for your comment - obviously I was too much focussed on the abdominal pattern :@
Best regards, Marc

By the way: (how) can I modify the headline of the thread to avoid misleading? Do you have an idea???

Hi Marc, just Edit the first post in the thread and you can change the subject/title there :)

The abdominal pattern is largely irrelevant when identifying that group of Tachina spp. ;)
