Hi Flyforum,

I was wondering what kind of Tachinida fly this is?
I saw it today in the Amsterdam Forest on a bridge.

It was about 1 cm and a bit blue-ish..
The alula is standing upwards

Robert,

Experts will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that even in warm Holland first Tachinidae will appear a month later;)
