Hello,

a 10 mm Tachinid on Heracleum near forest and small stream (northwest Germany). Linnaemya?

A Linnaemyia. Might very well be tessellans.

I'd vote for L. picta (our commonest Linnaemya species) because of bristles on the gena (compare https://tachinida...-features/), reddish tibiae and yellow humeri (at least in the 1st pic I think I see this ground colour).
Best wishes, Sundew

The features mentioned by Sundew would indicate picta, but espaecially the yellowish humerus does not reproduce in the other pictures. So I am not sure
