Lypha dubia seems to be quite common evereywherer nowadays.

thank you Gabor for your reaction.
This Tachinidae is also Lypha dubia ? I think?

Looking againg to my pictures, I am considering it could be still Lypha dubia...
Let's put these other pictures (these are not the same fly, but the same area and day). The flies beneath are also Lypha dubia... I think
But I must say, I find it difficult t see.
greeting Robert ;)

The middle one, however, is Phorocera obscura.
Look at the abdomen, very elongated (for a Tachinidae).
Lypha dubia is opposite: very short and rounded.
