Definitely a tachinid and as an educated guess I'd say
Nemoraea pellucida ... but leave it for Theo to say if I am right

I agree with you both !
Nemoraea pellucide (male, the female is completely black !)
spectacular fly indeed.

My guess was based on the fact that the only one I ever saw was dead on a tarmac road in the south of France - so it looked remarkably like the above photos!!

Well, if you can ID flies you never saw (Lecanipa), this one must have been easy then, Chris ?
