  • Info -- I have added a cropped alternative version, as people here often don't like empty space... Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:51, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Compositionally, I prefer the original. How certain are you of the ID? J Milburn (talk) 21:21, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I put a post in [here], where I got an answer of Tachina sp.. A careful search in their gallery ([1]) permited to arrive at T. praeceps (the other similar species is T. fera). Of course, there is always the chance of being a close species. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The amount of detail and the EV it gives leaves no questions for me. Composition is better in the original crop. --WingtipvorteX PTT 20:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either, prefer original solely because the original is over the 1500 minimum and the crop isn't quite there. Pine 08:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
