a nice tachinid - perhaps tribe Goniini?

To my opinion it's not
Tachinidae, but
Calliphoridae, genus
Pollenia.

Naah, it is a tachinid, but I have no idea which one...

What convinces you?

I vote Tachinidae - Bristles on the abdomen too strong and stiffly erect. No sign of proclinate orbital setae and frontal bristles just look too neat and stiff for Pollenia.

Tachinidae - Goniinae.

what the heck..?... with venation!!! M vein seems to have one another vein that doesn't reach the wing margin... unusual!

That extension on M1-M2 isn't very common, I think ... and as Jorge says.

Maybe something close to
Microphthalma europaea!?

This is Microphthalma europaea... but the first Fly seems different!

the last seems to be M. europaea. Not a Goniinae. Microphthalma belongs to the Tachininae subfamily.
see here photos taken by myself.

It's a Tachinid, it's very special, I have never seen it and I would need the specimen to tell you more (this one picture is not enough for me)

might be some Chaetogena. Still, a long shot
