First impression is that of an Oebalia
Could we get a closer lateral view from the head ?

Why "unfortunately" a female? Anything against females?
Sarcophagidae it is. Oebalia (Miltogramminae) to be precise. I would like to see a dorsal view of the abdomen. and I would like to know whether the fore tarsi are completely black or (partially) reddish.
Can you give anything on the environment (plants) of the catch?

Oebalia cylindrica (Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae)
They are found on stem breeding Sphecidae (e.g. on brambles). A related species (and possibly this one as well) is suspected to put eggs on the host. If you catch the Sphecids, you will find the eggs as well.

The environment fit to your discription, lots of brambles present between brushwood.
About Sphecidae i did not know, so i will pay some attention to it the next time!
Thanks
