South west Norway, June 5th.
Found in small patch of forest dominated by Common Hazel (Corylus avellana).
Kind of short and stubby made me think of Tachinidae.
Size, maybe 50% larger than House Fly.

Thanks Stephane.

I checked the Norwegian list. 4 species only:
Morellia aenescens
Morellia hortorum
Morellia podagrica
Morellia simplex

Is that of any help?
