Another Tachinidae near Den Haag, The Netherlands, of which I don't have the photos I would like. I hope it is still identifiable from these photos. Taken on 17 June 2018

A little push to the front, hoping that Theo will see it. ;-)

Exorista larvarum group? (Right-angled bend in M, frontal bristles low on face, pair of strong reclinate bristles at vertex, 4 postsutural dc)

The strong descending frontl bristles are a vig clue, indeed, for what we have.
Can’t be Larvarum group, though, since the eyes are very hairy.
It might (stress on this) be Aplomyia confinis. What we can see of the abdomen seems to support this, as does the subtle pojecting mouthmargin, very reddish scutellum.
But it is stretching

Thank you, John and Theo! Photos clearly not good enough. I will keep the question mark larger than the possible name. ;-)
