I found this fly on the 25th of April 2021 in a former sand excavation site with currently lots of Cytisus and some bramble, oaks and other trees on the slope. It sat on one of my hands and stayed there so it was actually easy to catch. The female is 9 mm.

As I'm no fly expert I put it on waarneming.nl. The image recognition software suggested Ernestia, Smidtia and the like. So I started from there not knowing if the lead is correct. If it is I thought it might be laevigata.
Today I made some additional pictures of the scutellum and the fore tarsus after reading Tschorsnig's tachinidae key (the couplet on rudis - laevigata).

Am I right on Panzeria laevigata? Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards, Henk ten Holt
