Sorry I have just one picture of this strange Tachinidae.
Has somebody an idea about it ?

Near Paris, april 30th, ~10mm

Looks like Vibrissina sp.

My gut feeling says Baumhaueria

The third antennal segment is too long for Vibrissina, especially since this seems to be a female.

The gentle curve in vein M is very peculiar indeed.

Any more lateral shot, even if only slightly, would be very helpful.
Or a collected specimen.
