Hi,

looks like one of the small Phasia (Tachinidae), which are around here at the moment, like Phasia pusilla. Definitely not Pipunculidae.
Best regards,
Jürgen

M1 vein straight, so that it is not Phasia. Wing venation is also different from that of Pipunculidae. This should be a platypezid.

Ups, I overlooked the wing venation in the first picture. General look was too convincing... awkward
Best regards,
