To my opinion it's not Tachinidae, but Calliphoridae, genus Pollenia.

I vote Tachinidae - Bristles on the abdomen too strong and stiffly erect. No sign of proclinate orbital setae and frontal bristles just look too neat and stiff for Pollenia.

That extension on M1-M2 isn't very common, I think ... and as Jorge says.

This is Microphthalma europaea... but the first Fly seems different!

the last seems to be M. europaea. Not a Goniinae. Microphthalma belongs to the Tachininae subfamily.

see here photos taken by myself.

It's a Tachinid, it's very special, I have never seen it and I would need the specimen to tell you more (this one picture is not enough for me)
