Yes, your new observations second Estheria bohemani. The wing venation is exactly like in tachinidae.eu and nearly all characters (except propleuron) from T&H (+translation Rayner, Raper) key are visible:

- Tergite 2 dorsally hollowed to the posterior edge.
- Tergites 3 and 4 with discal bristles
- Cheeks bare
- 5 Humeral bristles, the 3 strongest form a triangle.
- 4 dc behind the suture.
- Petiole of R5 longer than r-m.
- Scutellum black

Greetings, Eric
