Nyctia halterata (Sarcophagidae) perhaps :)

Looks a bit like a tachinid but it won't have a subscutellum and in the field very easy to identify from that dark-coloured leading edge to the wing and the way it holds its wings quite open.

Hello Chris,

Tachinidae was also my first idea. I have only this foto. Thank's a lot for your infos.

Best regards
Urs
