 Hi everyone,

I have photographed this medium-sized fly yesterday near Paris.
Length about 6-7mm.
I think it belongs to the family Tachinidae but I'm not sure. Any opinion about the genus?
Thanks for your help!

 It could be Rhinophoridae.

 Thank you very much Eric, so this would be a Rhinophoridae.
