Hello,

Here are four flies taken in Belgium this summer.
I think all of them are Tachinidae and perhaps Tachina : fera or magnicornis ?

Thanks for your help

Hi Eric


To ID them as Tachina is not difficult indeed.
The species, however, based on a picture, is not so easy.
At least some of these are surely T. fera, and possibly all of them are fera.
For features, see my key for larger Tachinidae (Jeugdbondsuitgeverij)
