It's another nice one but I can't see enough in the photo that would distinguish it from a lot of species ... it's a bit too anonymous :)

I agree.

There are only 3 post DC and no scutellar apicals, so Blondeliini is than more than likely.
In which case female Blondelia nigripes comes in mind...

Shall I make it an uncertain Blondelia nigripes...?

I'd say "uncertain Blondelia nigripes" is a fair summary or "possible Blondelia nigripes" :D

Some tachinids stand out as obvious ... others can be deduced by an expert with some good photos ... and quite a lot (like this) can be guessed at but it's impossible to exclude it fro ma group of species :)
