Hello,
I found this tachinid fly in my garden in the west of the Netherlands on the 10th of May 2017. Could it be Phorocera obscura?
Best wishes.
Ramon

No, I see 4 post DC, so can't be Phorocera.
The wing venation is more Blondeliini. the strong bristles on facial ridge suggest Compsilura and the ocellars are lacking, so it is the female of Compsilura concinnata. Only after reaching this conclusion, I noticed the sawshaped belly, which settles it.
