I agree.
Difficult to pinpoint a species. The earliest species is viridana, but somehow it looks different.
I'll have to check

thanks jorge and theo,
I have a lateral view of the same Macquartia if it can help you to ID the specie.

Please always include shots from different angles instantly, it makes Tachinid life so much easier !
It is a male M. dispar, next of kind to viridana
