Hello together
I found this fly on a street embankment in Baden-Wurttemberg (Southwest Germany) on March 19th, 2010. This one take flew there in a large number in and over the grass.
Is she part of the Tachinidae? Size about 8-9 mm.
Regards
Andreas

Looks like Pollenia (Calliphoridae).
Only very few Tachinidae have the vertex so narrow (though they exist, for instance some Macquartia males)
