Pinara, SW Turkey, 12 June. Near little water body, with small stream entering and leaving. Heavily shaded by large trees. Rather small fly, some 5 mm

I realize Turkish Tachinids are no ones territory, yet any indication (subfamily/tribe) welcome.

That is a Wagneriini. You would expect Periscepsia carbonaria in such environment, but it looks a bit different.
Maybe Wagneria itself. Difficult group, can't tell from just this one pic.

Sorry, i thought is was on a beach. Forget the remark on Periscepsia: it is likely Wagneria
