Hi Kuv, I think it's a female Ectophasia crassipennis.
According to Ceretti (2010): I tachinidi della fauna italiana, E. leucoptera's wing is nearly completely hyaline and the bend of M is a right angle - not bowed like E. crassipennis.

EDIT: to exclude E. oblonga we need a sharp lateral view of the tip of the abdomen:
sternite 7 bent forwards in E. crassipennis, backwards in E. oblonga
