A spring species. Jizz similar to a Linnaemya, but head profile is different.

Another individual, same species as the one shown by the first two pics?

Looks very like a sarcophagid (long body, grey chequered dusting on abdomen, big pulvilli) but it
is a tachinid, which might suggest something like
Phorocera ... but I'll wait for Theo on this one :)

That's my thought as well, Phorocera or maybe Parasetigena.
Can't tell the number of DC.
My gut feeling tells my Parasetigena.

Parasetigena it must be, becasue it was a large species.
Also looking through my P. images it appears to me, that a good jizz feature is that in P. the head and the body is often separated by a wide fluffy area formed by white occipital hair. This species looks like a spanish or dutch nobleman with the broad white collars fashionable in the 16th centrury.
