Reminds me of Solieria, which is in the same tribe as Demoticus (the genus suggested for the other fly).

Hello
Using the keys page 16 of this work
http://tachinidae.myspecies.info/sites/tachinidae.myspecies.info/files/Central%20European%20Key%20-%20plus%20figures.pdf

I arrived to Solieria vacua : palps thickened ± club-shaped, yellow and frons 1.02 - 1.30x as wide as one eye (here 1,3).

Based on the colouration of the palpus, you are right.
I have no idea how reliable this feature is.

I'd say: get the male !
