I photographed this Tachinid (I think) at Heukelum, Netherlands today in a small piece of woodland. It was about 10 mm long. Could anything be said about its ID?

Thanks in advance!

Not, unless you attach the photo.

Could it perhaps be Phryxe?

It doesn't look like a Phryxe to me, but it might just be that the insect is dark because the picture has too much contrast. Difficult to tell what it could be but with a specimen it would be fairly easy I think Grin

Its ID will remain a mystery then, I'm afraid Sad
Thank you for your reply, Chris!
