Hi, this one was found in E-Hungary, August - can someone tell me the difference between Nowickia and Tachina?

Generally speaking it is the colour of the legs - brown=Tachina, black=Nowickia. So, this is a Tachina :) But first check the face to make sure there are no Peleteria bristles to rule-out that genus too ;)

So this is Tachina.

By the way, Tachina grossa is an exception to Chris' rule.
