Hello,

there were still many Tachina fera active here in November, even at my fruit baits (see pictures 3-5 below), but the fly on the first two pics (at forest border, northwest Germany) was much darker.

Hi Jürgen, not too much to see... but the two bristles under the eye makes me think of a Peleteria (rubescens?).

Thanks, Eric! Peleteria rubescens was very abundant here last year (less so this year).
