I found this specimen on July 8th in the east of the Netherlands (Achterhoek). I did expect it wouldn't be too difficult to get a name for this one, but it's more difficult than i expected.
After going through a key i think it has to be a Tachinidae, but i can't find a single photo which looks like the specimen i saw.
Is it possible to get a name for this specimen? I've got a few more pictures if needed.

No, this is Muscidae.
Probably species of
Morellia.

Thanks Nikita. The pattern on the thorax is right for Morellia? Because the few pictutes i can find of that species look different to me.

Splendid picture style-wise, by the way. ;)

To tell you truth I didn't like idea about Morellia too, but I couldn't find any better possibilities. This dorsal reflections on Muscidae are always tricky :@
Coming back to this fly I have another guess (but guess only)
Myospila meditabunda

I'd rather go with
Myospila also, or even
Brontaea seeing the few narrowed r4+5 cell and infuscated wings.
Also a guess...
