Another Tachinid, this time from Valencia, taken on the 23rd October 2011. Area with sandy dunes and mediterranean vegetation. Tachinidae or Sarcophagidae? I cannot find anything that matches in either family. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

Jorge's contribution is correct, except for the 'maybe' part :)
