Sized about 7/8 mm. she was first resting on dung but when approached her she flew up to an oak leaf. There she stayed for while.

Thanks in advance.

Tachinidae - Peleteria sp.
#3
Hairy eyes, ocelar bristles, 3d ant. length, all this doesn't match with Peleteria.
Linnaemyia ?
#4
hm... peleteria really has no hairy eyes.

I agree with Stephane -
Linnaemyia - from the hairy eyes and protruding mouth edge & pale basicosta, but also the longer antenna 3 and lack of
Peleteria bristles also helps

Correct.
And given the blonde hairs on thorax. relatively narrow parafacialia and red femora (difficult to see), I'd say this is L. vulpina.
