I photographed this Tachinid (I think) at Heukelum, Netherlands today in a small piece of woodland. It was about 10 mm long. Could anything be said about its ID?

Thanks in advance!

Could it perhaps be Phryxe?

It doesn't look like a Phryxe to me, but it might just be that the insect is dark because the picture has too much contrast. Difficult to tell what it could be but with a specimen it would be fairly easy I think Grin
