Epicampocera succincta (2)
crex
I think a Tachinidae sp. From just north of Stockholm, Sweden today. Possible to ID? I notice white shoulders, bare arista and hairy eyes. I think the size was less than 10 mm, but I never really write down that kind of stuff. I guess I should.

Edit: Changed subject (Tachinidae sp)

I hade the opportunity to take a few photos because it was pruning itself. I saw that something "came out" when I took the photo, but when editing I was amazed of the unnatural look of it, like plastic. Perhaps it helps with the ID? I don't even know if this is a male or a female.

Oh my, oh my. I feel a little embarassed. I even got that one as an avatar now Sad I guess it was the plastic looking ovipositor(?) that got me fooled Shock ... and I didn't get the same feeling about this as the other one. Whatever that has to do with it ... Cool Thnx once again Theo!

Well, to be honest: it fooled me at first sight as well.
The convex third antennal segment (syn of succincta = curvicornis !)
is not obvious because of the angle of view in the first picture.
Moreover, the palpus is out of focus, but it is clearly both large and black.
A larger (that is, around 10 mm. or more) 'ordinary looking' Tachinid with as special feature a bluish tinge on the abdomen, is, as a rule of thumb, either Epicampocera succincta or Pales pavida.
And Pales has reddish tibiae ...
