The white hairs behind the eye are quite striking - Vienna, forest, mid September

Thanks Eric,
maybe your '?' can be converted into a '!' by a Tachinid expert Cool

Hi Lorin, though we cannot see, if the tip of the abdomen is black, I may convert the '!' myself: the hairs of the gena are white (not black as in L. impudica - T&H key)

There is only one pair of bristles on tergite 3 - I wonder if that is an additional important character (unless both broke off...)

Yes, there a no discals and I cannot see if they were broken.
And while searching for these I've seen that the area around the post-alar callus is distincly red and with my limited knowledge I'm no more sure without lateral/caudal shots - we should better wait for THE expert!

These would be the other two pictures I took, nothing more to add from that side - so unfortunately abdomen not clearly visible

I don’t like identifying females Linnaemyia from pic, unless they both from lowland and very obvious…

or unless caught and pinned, I'd assume.

Thanks anyways, Theo!
