This was found recently by Sabena Blackbird near Liverpool. It looks similar to some other posted here recently but it is a bit too anonymous for me

I'm not at home now, so I can't check, but it seems to be a Blondeliini, in which case Oswaldia (muscaria) comes in mind. Does that help, Chris ? |

Hi Theo, That's a possibility - I haven't caught many of those myself but I do remember those are quite anonymous. Which features are you using to guess Blondeliini? |

Well, I would call it jizz rather than feature (don't try this at home !): * elongated abdomen * curved bend of vein M * and esp. the fact that the bend is so close to the wing margin * lack of apical scutellar bristles All these are non conclusion, however, the combination suggests Blondeliini Theo |

I think Dima means my new camera ... but this was photographed by someone else  I would like a few more tachinids and sarcophagids to photograph but we need some better weather first |
