Tachinid is a wild guess but it does seem to have a large subscutellum:(
EDIT: title changed

Hmm, if I have a pin-up of a tachinid will my girlfriend be jealous ... or just think I am crazy? :P
(Actually she already knows I am crazy so there's not much risk there ;))

It may be OK. Looking at the characteristics of the genus this appears to be a male. Hmnm, maybe not so OK.
Theo: I could send you a print of lateral view, and/or a print of the face. Any size up to about 12x12 inches.
Attaching a dorsal view of abdomen.
Sunnny day forecast after almost 2 weeks of cloud and rain; off to get some tabanids!
