A big one, about 13 - 14 mm
The 07 October 2017 on Ivy in the South of France.
I do not find the drawing of wings and the colors of body in Tachinidae which I was able to see on galleries

A very nice Eurychaeta muscaria (Calliphoridae). I have never seen this species.

Many thanks Theo,
Is she rare and more particularly present in the Mediterranean region?

Yes, it is a southern species. In Central Europe, you have Eu. palpalis, with a much smaller head.

Hello
Why not Eurychaeta palpalis ?
In this work ; British blowflies (Calliphoridae) and woodlouse flies (Rhinophoridae) (Steven Falk draft key March 2016).pdf pages 18 et 38.
- p. 18 : lower part of parafacialia with some very long and strong bristles => Eurychaeta palpalis
p. 38 : E. muscaria is a central and southern European species with much broader parafacialia that only bear a single strong bristle (3-4 present in E. palpalis).
therefore parafacialia with several strong bristles this should be Eurychaeta palpalis.
