Good day!
I caught a tachinid fly in Linz, Austria yesterday, did some foto stacks and uploaded it to iNaturalist. Somebody already identified it as Phryno vetula (if the person sees this; thanks a lot!). This identification seems to check out at first glance. I would be greatful, if somebody could confirm this ID.

Correct.
Nice you have it.
In the Netherlands, this is one of species in strong decline
