Not, it isn't
(yes, it is... no, ..., or is Monty Python forbidden here ?)
It's Phyto melanocephala, and therefore, it's a Rhinophoridae.
The shape of the calyptra will confirm this.

It's hard to say why it isn't a tachinid but I like to prove it by elimination: it's got a petiole but it doesn't like like any of the tachinids with a petiole ... so it must be a rhinophorid :D
