Hi,
Here's a tachinid that I would hesitate to call a
Tachina, though I am not aware of a better alternative. As so often, I need help from the tachinid experts...
Locality is the Baltic Island of Usedom in last August.
Thanks, Sundew

I agree with Jorge - I can't see the facial bristles (the best way to split
Peleteria and
Tachina) but the slimmer shape of the abdomen and the redder colouration points towards
Peleteria. If we could see the face then
Peleteria should have a couple of strong bristles on the lower part, between the eye and the vibrissae located on the mouth edge.
Tachina spp. don't have those bristles
