Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Another Bulgarian fly sp poss Gymnosoma

Another of the Diptera from my recent Bulgaria visit was this species which was also found at Popovi Livadi Pass on 3 August 2012. Despite the rather naked appearance (with respect to bristles) I think this is Tachinidae and possibly a Gymnosoma sp. I would welcome confirmation or correction of this as well as any suggestion of the actual species.

Many thanks as always

Alan

Yes, male Gymnosoma ... I can't say any more without a specimen :)
