Have you collected this fly ? It definitely looks like a Tachinid, but I am not familiar with these species. Although the picture is very good, it is not possible to see all the necessary features. So I can help you out if the specimen is available. It looks quite interesting ! Theo Zeegers |

Hi Gerard, Sorry, but no, this is not Phyllomyia, because the topcel in the wing has an extraordinary long petiole. More common to Rhinophoridae than Tachinidae, but still my first guess is that this is a special Tachinid. Theo Zeegers |

I did recently get some flies very much like this for identification. They did belong to the Rhinophorid genus Stevenia. But I am not very familiar with this small group of flies, so treat this identification with caution. |

I'd go along with the tentative ID of 'rhinophorid' as it reminds me of a rhinophorid i have caught here in the uk - the exceptionally long petiole and the faint shading on the wing membrane along the veins all suggest this. |

I have looked at it again and oke, it might very well be a Rhinophoridae, in which case it is likely to be Stevenia, as already suggested. Theo Zeegers |
