Looks more like a Tachinidae to me, possibly Blepharomyia ??

So I took another look at this, and I am not sure. I feel like it does not have much of a postscutellum like other tachinids I have seen.
Anyways tried to key it with the Tachinidae key of central Europe, without much luck too.

I can't see the head clearly. In
Metopia the anterior reclinate orbital is between the two proclinate orbitals (instead of behind both). Check for that.

Thank you, John! If I got the bristles correct, that seems to be the case
