At this time of the year I would expect Tachina lurida. But wait for the experts.

NO, at this time of year I would expect ursina. Lurida is begin of may, end of april at the earliest.
Moreover, as well observed it looks like ursina

Thanks, Theo! I only had T. lurida once here and had in mind that it was earlier than the other Tachinas (never have found ursina though...).
