Hello,

I discovered this fly in Germany, in the Westerwald on 05.10.2020.

What species could it be?

Hello Heiko,

this can't be Tachinidae, it lacks the bend in the M-vein, characteristical for Tachinidae (and Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Rhinophoridae...). Ist is a Phaonia female (Muscidae). Maybe Phaonia tuguriorum, but better wait for the experts.

Hello Juergen,

your are very good.

Thank you very much!

Hi Heiko, the crossveins are only slightly shaded and there are 2 pairs of achrosticals behind the suture: most probably female P. valida.

Greetings, Eric
