Hi cosmln,

It's a Macquartia
The eyes are very close on vertex, which is a good clue (exceptional in Tachinidae).
My guess it's a male of M. dispar, but not sure.

Hi Theo,

thanks for direction.

so another species of Macquartia.
the photos are resizes/crops from 10 MP photos. you need some special part to be sure about the species? if yes please let me know. i will crop that part (put here or send that to you personally).

It's very likely M. dispar.
If you didn't collect it, I can't do better than that.
