A small (5-6 mm) fly from our house wall this afternoon (northwest Germany). A Tachinid?

small calypters, petiole (long!), most likely to be rinophoridae. Wait for Theo, Chris!

Thanks, Jorge. I first looked under Rhinophoridae, but could not find one with such widely separated eyes.
Best regards,

Jorge is right
Juergen: width of vertex is strongly sexual dimorph.

This looks pretty weird. It might be a very fresh female Rhinophora lepida (?)

By lack of alternative
