Yes, that looks like a female Solieria to me - so a bit tricky to take further (but maybe S.pacifica?)  The only things that are similar in the field in our area are Dinera grisescens, which can be really hard to split in the field

Thanks Chris. With Tachinids I am quite happy enough just to get down to the genus!
