Yeah - well done :D it looks like
N.ferox to me. It can only really be mistaken for
Tachina fera but
fera has brown legs and
ferox has black legs, like yours. The general 'jizz' is easy though -
ferox is usually slightly bigger, spikier and with really black markings, not just dark brown. In the field the contrast between the black and orange is really strong on
ferox.
