Hi

Finally I found my first (true) tachinid. Maybe in last weekend I spotted a tachinid like this one...

EDIT: Now I believe this can be a rhinophorid. It has clearly a petiole (there are tachinids with petiole though) but this has small calypters hence I think this can be a rhinophorid.
This is rather dark fly. Coal colour.

It measures about 7 mm. The head (lateral view) measures 1 mm.
I will show the body photo more later.


EDIT 2: Maybe a Wagneria sp. according to the Chris Raper
