Size 12mm. Maybe Eurithia? But wing venation and head are different from Eurithia species that I photographed earlier.

Unfortunately it's a female (as far as I can see), yet maybe this picture might help somehow...

Hi Dima.
1. I agree with Fannia.
2. I don't agree with Eurithia. I think it is some Dexiini.
My best guess as result of an hour attempts to ID is Billaea pectinata.

Very nice pictures !
The Tachinid looks like a Dexiini, with the short antenna and very high jowls (gena).
It is, however, Microphthalma europaea, in a different subfamily.
The resemblance is, however, striking.
There are two of those: Microphthalma and Dexiosoma.
Both have a long appendix in the wing to the bend of vein M, which is unusually in Dexiini (though it does occur, for instance in Zeuxia).
