Found on marshy area in Israel. Look at the apex of both it wings. It seem someone had bitten him or the wings are fragile and this is common on this species. Edited by zcuc on 17-11-2007 23:42 |

It has a little strange posture as if trying to be as higher as possible. |

Yes, very strange head ... has some feel of being a rhinophorid but the subscutellum does look to be complete, so would suggest tachinid.  |

On weekend I was traveling to Hulah reservation after heard a big packs of about 50,000 cranes stop there on their way to Africa. I don't think it's legal to collect specimen inside resevertions area without a permit although I'm not sure if it apply to flies. There were several dozens of this species standing on the sunny side of fig tree. Edited by zcuc on 18-11-2007 21:33 |

I can understand that. But you can make as many pictures as you like, I've never seen this so I really need the fly to ID it. Theo |

What strikes me is that M actually joins R4+5 *just* before the wing margin. Haven't we seen something like that on diptera.info before? I looked and I can't find it though.

Eriothrix rufomaculata does that very often and the length of the petiole can be very variable. But the shape of the head in this photo is very unusual so I am lost for any suggestion as to what it could be related to  |
