Hello!

Can you identify this fly please? I think it is a Tachina fera, isn't it?

The photo was made near Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany on a field three years ago in the summer.

Thank you for your replies, Freddy...

No Phasia hemiptera (male) - this is T. fera http://tachinidae...earch=fera :)

I think something went wrong with Chris' post?
It is, indeed, a male of Phasia hemiptera.
Right, Chris?

Hi Theo ... having read it back again I have seen that it could have been phrased a bit better ;) I was trying to say that his photo was P. hemiptera, not T. fera ... and then I was showing him my page of photos of T. fera. But instead I demonstrated the perrils of typing what I was thinking ... and not punctuating it properly! ;)
