On leaves of Robinia pseudoacacia, the 15 may 2008, at Salans-Jura-France.
I hope it is a Tachinidae? perhaps some body can confirm and perhaps see more?

Thank you Theo! What we must take in photo to have a better identification?

It needs to be a bit closer - with a good dorsal and lateral angle to give the best chances. From this photo I first thought '
Blepharipa' but there looks to be a protruding mouth edge, which might suggest
Ernestia maybe ... but, like Theo says, it is very hard to say for sure, despite it being quite a nice photo :)

Funny. Blepharipa was my first thought as well, the eyes are hairy, though.
There is a strong appendix to bend m, so there are 2 options
* some Exoristini (Parasetigena comes in mind)
* Linnaemyia
It is a bit early inthe year for L. tessellans, but then again, the south of France....
