Tachinidae possibly?

 This fly was present in a patch of Ramsons (Allium ursinum) amongst Cheilosia and Portevinia hoverflies though not interacting with them. Is it a tachinid fly?

 My guess would be Pollenia (Calliphoridae) but the golden hairs on the thorax have been largely rubbed off Smile

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
