More angles please - one photo is seldom enough with tachinids  It is certainly a Nowickia but not sure which species

The palpus is yellow, if I'm not mistaken, so should be N. ferox Theo |

Backspace ! Doesn't look like a Nowickia at all, it is a Tachina. The tibiae were reddish, indeed, but it was difficult to see. We have been fooled. It is a male Tachina magnicornis Theo |

Or our eyes, we could have noticed the red on the hind tibia. Theo |
