It certainly looks like a tachinid - but not enough detail to know which one it could be :)

This looks a bit like Exorista grandis, a known parasite of the swallowtail. What do you think, Chris?

Wouldn't like to commit myself really ;) It looks a bit like an
Exorista but I'd have expected it to be a bit bigger ... but then it is hard to get a feel for scale.
