I think, Tachina magnicornis.

Yes, I was going to say Tachina (not fera), from the black front tarsi :D

Thanks a lot to both of you! So Chris since you seem to agree with Erikas' thinking (I don't find alternatives with black front tarsi looking like that), I'll take it as T. magnicornis. :D

Yes, in the Southern Europe you may have Tachina nupta alternative to magnicornis.

Oh, and it's reported for Bavaria as well (the location was about 100m south of Bavaria). So should I maybe wait for Theo's opinion to close the topic....? :|

I think it won't be possible to make a distinction between magnicornis & nupta from these photos because the ID relies on the patternation on the tip of the abdomen.

So might this picture give the necessary information? I know it's bad and my hope is little...
