Tachinidae, Voriini, possibly
Wagneria but there are similar genera.

It is Ramonda (outer verticals lacking) and the only species at that locality - in high numbers - is R. prunaria.

Is it generally true that both sexes of
Wagneria have two strong pairs of verticals and both sexes of
Ramonda only one?

Yes !
And Periscepsia is intermediate, it has small outer verticals. In both sexes !
Sexual dimorphy is unusual small in most Wagneriini (like in the related Voriini).
