Hello Michael,

looks like it, but wait for Theo or another expert to safely exclude
T. lurida. Although I think, it is a little bit early for that species. But nevertheless I saw even
Tachina fera two days ago at a sloe hedge here.

Ursina has grey tranverse bands on tergite, so this is lurida.
Lurida used to fly (much) later than ursina, but is very early this year. They fooled me as well !
