I am not sure about the family but it is close to Rivellia syngenesiae, apart from the dark marks on the wings.
Taken the 16/06/2011, in the wood of Lauzelle, Belgium.

Wing veins are different. Note, e.g., M bending towards R4+5. Reminds me of Phasiinae.

Indeed.

This is Phania (Phasiinae, Tachinidae).

Most common is Phania funesta, but a specimen is needed for a reliable identification.
