This fly was present in a patch of Ramsons (Allium ursinum) amongst Cheilosia and Portevinia hoverflies though not interacting with them. Is it a tachinid fly?

My guess would be
Pollenia (Calliphoridae) but the golden hairs on the thorax have been largely rubbed off :)

Yeah, it does look a bit beat-up!
Thanks Chris :)
