Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Halstenbek near Hamburg, area of tree nursery, edge of an uncultivated field at a flower of
Achillea millefolium; 18th of July 2024 (Outside photos: Kuv).
Searching in the Diptera Gallery I think it could be a female of
Ectophasia leucoptera. Is that right? Please help to get the ID.
Greeting Kuv

Hi Kuv, I think it's a female
Ectophasia crassipennis.
According to Ceretti (2010): I tachinidi della fauna italiana,
E. leucoptera's wing is nearly completely hyaline and the bend of M is a right angle - not bowed like
E. crassipennis.
EDIT: to exclude
E. oblonga we need a sharp lateral view of the tip of the abdomen:
sternite 7 bent forwards in
E. crassipennis, backwards in
E. oblonga

Hi Eric |t,
thank you very much for help. As I have no better picture of the tip of abdomen it must remain "
Ectophasia cf. crassipennis".
