Here is a little Tachinidae I tried to identify using Tachinidae.eu.
An old specimen in caught in 2014 from extreme south France (Mediterranean vegetation, Holm oak, Quercus ilex).

I am not quite conviced by my conclusion on Tachinidae.eu, as I find Rossimyiops genus, but it nearest locality mentioned is Bulgaria.
Here are the criteria I used:
- Prosternum bare
- 2 post intra alar
-3 post dc
-1 katerpisternal setae
-no discal bristle on T3 and 4
-eyes bare
-Widenig of ariste <1/5
-Vibrissa inserted above lower facial margin

This combinaison get me to
-Opesia
-Rondania
- Rossimyiops


I excluded the first 2 due to the thin peristome.

I can add thoses informations:
-cheeks bare
- Crossed apical scutellar bristle, between 60-90°
Legs black (maybe little red between femora and tibia)

Coming back on this one, I have a new proposal:

It is Acemyia, or at least an Acemyiini.
Check the antenna !

(and makes more sense in the south of France).
