I found these on sycamore/plane tree. Male and female? Over 5 mm.

Looks like it has a subscutellum, in the second photo ... which would suggest Tachinidae :)

Chris, you are looking at the scutellum.
It is a Phyto or possibly an aberrant Stevenia.
The second pic shows the Rhinophorid-calyptra nicely

Ahh, wow - it has a rather nicely developed subscutellum - more than I am used to from the rhinos over here :) But I don't get to see many rhinophorids in the UK at all - except
R.lepida. :(

I found this old thread, and show 1 more photo, maybe it helps. I also have the specimens, so can make more photos later:
