A 7mm tachinid from a woodland/heathland site in Yorkshire UK, 24th April 2022. I am struggling to key it out...I am wondering whether the genae have collapsed in a bit? Grateful for any suggestions as to genus/species.

Calliphoridae have bare eyes. In the Oestroidea of Europe and North America, only some Tachinidae have hairy eyes.

Seems to be Panzeria laevigata
