Third view.

It's a tachinid ... but I can't quite see enough to be able to identify it. I have tried it in the Palaearctic software key and it could be any one of about 10 genera Sad

Thanx very much for your efforts with this cute fly. Identifying Tachinids seems to be a real pain in the unmentionable Cool

It's not really that hard - if you can see enough of the fly - but that usually means putting it under a microscope to look at the bristles and hairs. I actually think they are quite simple when you have specimens Grin

This one has a typical jizz (as birdwatchers call it), however not mentioned in the keys:
* slightly bluish colouration
* third antennal segment distinctly convex on outer border
* esp. females with very clubbed palpi

--> Epicampocera succincta

Amazing knowledge. I appreciate it very much Theo.
 
crex
As I gather it this fly is a parasite on Lepidoptera larvae, Small Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) among a few others ...
 
Zeegers
Not amazing knowledge, but just a lot of experience
(I once IDed 25000 Tachinids in 8 months, that helps).

Epicampocera is supposed to be polyphagous, however, the primary host clearly is Pieris.
