Hi, I photographed this Tachinid (at least I suppose it is) in Scharnstein, southern Upper Austria (about 500m above sea level).
Best regards,
Eckhart

Almost the same, but different parts are in focus. I was quite windy when I took the photos...

Yes, it is a boreo-alpine species, 500 asl is a bit low.
In Estonia, is occurs at sea level.

Thanks once again to everybody for input an correction. As for the 500 asl - it is located on the foot of higher mountains (up to 1500 asl), which might explain its appearance in lower regions...
