I find this a very difficult fly to find. Why....I find the calypter very big, and a little strange . Can it by Sarcophagidae or maybe Tachinidae It is a Fly found on 12 aug 2007 In Giethoorn And was about 14 mm Greatings Joke (I'm sorry, it is not so good looking photo) javanerkelens attached the following image: ![]() [55.31Kb] |

This is a Tachinid. It looks familar, but I leave it to the pros.

Good question. The grey markings on tergites are too extensive. Moreover, it's a male, and you can actually see the fluffy hairs at the ventral side of tergite 4 (yes, it take some imagination), which is typical for male larvarum. moreover, larvarum is common at Giethoorn, it's too wet for fasciata.
