Hi again
I found this "loving" couple in a grassy area of coastal dunes (Xagó Beach, N Spain), on June the 29th.
They look like Tachinidae to my amateur eyes, but I might be wrong. Anyway, can something be said about their identity?
Many thanks for any help, as usual. :)

Another view, from a lower angle to see better their abdomens...

Another lateral view, even lower to see more of the torax pattern and the faces shape (hard with the grass bothering!) :o

A couple of "mug-shots" of their lovely faces :D (just irresistible!)

And finally a dorsal view, just in case it can be useful

Yes, they are Tachinidae indeed.
Genus Pseudogonia.
