Change title to Tachinidae to attract Theo or Chris.

really? I must say.., I thought of Tachinidae but it wasn't very 'hairy' and I am not used to see such a little Tachinidae..
so it surprised me, I'll change the title
thank you for answering Gabor

Hmm, reminds me of
Paracraspedothrix montivaga but I wouldn't like to commit to that ID because I haven't seen them alive ... only floating around in alcohol or on the end of a pin! :D

I've looked at http://tachinidae.org.uk and there are some picutres of Paracraspedothrix montivaga.
I see it got also these white patterns on the thorax and abdomen.
