I'm not sure which family this belongs in - I'd say Tachinidae but I've been wrong often before.

Female Thelaira, Tachinidae.

Thanks Stephane. I should recognise Thelaira by now, but this was a very small one - I didn't even think of it.

I guess if it's Thelaira then the 2 long ad bristles on the middle tibia make it nigripes?

I can see at least 4 ad (2 strong indeed, and 2 weaker below). I would say T. solivaga waiting for more expert opinion.
