Very nice pictures !
The Tachinid looks like a Dexiini, with the short antenna and very high jowls (gena).
It is, however, Microphthalma europaea, in a different subfamily.
The resemblance is, however, striking.
There are two of those: Microphthalma and Dexiosoma.
Both have a long appendix in the wing to the bend of vein M, which is unusually in Dexiini (though it does occur, for instance in Zeuxia).
