Hello,
An early spring tachinid visiting also Salix flowers. Its body about 10mm.
ID will be very much appreciated.

Looks like Tachina lurida to me but I think we'd better wait for Theo to check it :D There are a lot more 'hairy' Tachina spp. the further east you go in the palearctic ... but I think they tend to be bigger :)
