Additional remark
As John Smit has pointed out correctly, there is yet one other Tachinidae that fits the diagnosis given above: Phasia pusilla.
This species is quite rare in The Netherlands, but could be found in the dune region.
So please collect any small Phasia when in doubt.
With a microscope, the difference is simple:
halters yellow -> Phasia barbifrons
halters dark -> Phasia pusilla

Thanks, John
