Eurithia anthophila again?
There is clearly no appendix on M-vein

Too small for
Eurithia, wrong colour and no protruding mouth edge - maybe a
Macquartia ?

Hi Klaas
There are 325 species of Tachinidae present in NL, so there is more then Eurithia vs. Linnaemyia.
Secondly, there is clearly a fold to bend of vein M present !
This is Phorocera obscura, characterized by the elongated abdomen (to Tachinidae-standards: therefore often mistaken for Sarcophagidae !). Very common spring species in deciduous forests.
