Looks like G.rotundatum to me (but there are others that look very similar in mainland Europe eg. nudifrons). If one is a female then I think it should be the one withthe widest frons (second photo) Smile

Chris is right
First male, second female

however, the species looks to me like G. nudifrons.
Not sure so, the perspective might fool me.

'This tachinid'? No way !
You have illustrated nicely how much the Gymnosoma are alike.
This is G. dolycoridis, or possibly clavatum, but definitely not nudifrons nor rotundatum. The pruinescense on the scutellum is characteristic.
