It looks like a Rhinophorid (woodlouse-fly), formerly a family of its own, now a subfamily of Calliphoridae. Compare Stevenia atramentaria (https://www.flick...710395155/), it has such a long petiole.
Let's, however, wait for the Tachinid experts. Maybe the calypters are a bit big for a Rhinophorid?
