Helpful Posts: Spotted a couple of days ago. I've not seen one before; it was large (approx 15mm) and I'd like to identify it please ... A search produced nothing definitive but going by the hairy body my guess is a Tachninid.

All I know is that I wish I'd taken the shot. Well done

Re: Is this a Tachinid?
These are tricky to identify and I'm not good with this whole group. You could have a look at Tachina fera.

Re: Is this a Tachinid?
Thanks Geoff - looks close, and if so would be a rare visitor to these north eastern parts, but with the weather we've had of late, who knows?
