This morning I found this little fly on my window.
I think it is Tachinidae.
What kind of Tachinidae is this?
size 5-8mm
Is it Phryxe nemea ?

Hi Robert,
You are way off. It is a Sarcophagidae: Oebalia minuta, formerly known as rufitarsis. Larvae in wasp nests in twigs of Sambucus and the like. Possibly flowers inside your house ?

Thank you Theo,
I now see there is no 'gevorkte steel' in the wingvain, that what is so typical for Tachinidae. I thought I saw this T in the wing but it is not a real T.
Long time ago I visited Diptera.info |t

I don't follow you, Robert.
It is not possible to separate Sarcophagidae from Tachinidae by wing venation (though there are some rules of thumb). And I do not understand what fork you are referring to.

I think I 've to search my diptera-book and find out what the hard difference are between sarcophagidae and Tachinidae.
I thougt the CuA1 wingvain of Tachinidae didn't reach the wingedge?
So I have to look for better rules to seperate these flies :S

Yes, you do. This feature varies at a generic level.
