Hi, this Tachinidae was today in my malaise here in Loviisa, Southern Finland. At first I belived it's Athrycia but after closer look I'm not sure any more.

It certainly looks a lot like Tony's specimen here: http://www.dipter...d_id=12623

So it may be Athrycia. Thank You Susan :)

Can we see the tops of the wings? I was thinking it could be an Exorista spp.

Chris is right. The crossvein is not that oblique (it is a known error !) and the bristles on the face are different from Voriini.
Given the discal setae on tergites, it is subgenus Adenia (so, rustica and allies).

Hi, only one Exorista and subgenus Adenia is found from Finland and that is rustica :D Thank You so much. Once again I know something new of these great flies.
