Could you check the hogh-res please ?
Are the eyes really bare ?

Thanks you Theo ! :)
Unfortunately, I haven't keep this specimen :S
on the original pictures it's a bit blur, but there is at least no long hairs, I'm not sure if there is some short one but I would say the eyes seems to be bare

OK, I think it is Allophorocera.
But now the species...

It is an Allophorocera ferruginea, but indeed an unusual grey specimen.
I know there is quite some variation, but this is extreme.
Someven your common Tachinidae are special !

Thanks you, Theo :)
I have found him just beside a piece of rotten Coniferous wood so maybe there was Tipulidae larva in it
