Thank you for the opinion John!
Can this be Compsilura concinnata? (but a bit yellowish compared to images on the web...) I can provide more detailed photo if possible.

I don't have any literature to identify Tachinidae from temperate Asia. There is only one species of
Compsilura in the region (
concinnata), but there is a genus named
Compsiluroides of which I know nothing.

Compsiluroides lacks both discal bristles on tergites and apicals on scutellum...
both are present here.
Ocellars are lacking, eye is hairy and 4 post DC present (atypical in Blondeliini), so it really keys out to Compsilura ...
I agree the frons is much more golden than in European specimens.
