Tachina magnicornis (female) is the correct name? Thank you very much.

It doesn't look like T.fera, which means T.magnicornis is possible - but I would wait for Theo to confirm it :)

I'm not gonna confirm or deny anything, since it is a female. Red metatarsus 2 suggests fera, antennal shape suggests magnicornis.

Unfortunately throwing dice is considered unscientific outsitde quantum mechanics (as known, A. Einstein was wrong when he said "Der Herrgott wuerfelt nicht")
