It is a female Medina, possibly separata.

Thanks so much! Medina separata seems to be rare in Norway. Sees that the shape of the tergits is important. Maybe I could look at it in a stereomicroscope. Is "The Tachinids (Diptera: Tachinidae) of Central Europe" an ok key?

Yes, please make a shot from behind. It might be collaris, if that is any help.

Thanks. I did not find it where I thought it was. Perhaps later - sorry.
