6 January 2011, Matagalpa Province, Nicaragua, cloud forest. I did not get a measurement.

Can anyone help with the ID?

Well, it's very nice and it is tribe Tachinini ... but without a good look at the head & palps it will have to remain anonymous Wink These really need specimens even to get to a stage where you are fairly sure of the genus ... not even confident of the genus Smile

Thank-you Chris, I am glad to be able to put a Tribe label on it!

Well, it doesn't say much to be honest - there are a lot of these - big bristly ones basically Wink
