My guess would be the tachinid Gonia ornata, but I'd wait for Chris to confirm this before telling your friend!

I'd say it has to be a Tachina sp. or a closely allied genus. With those black legs it doesn't look like T.fera, but it would be nice to have a clearer shot of the body. If I was told it was a UK specimen then I'd provisionally say Nowickia ferox - but I wouldn't be so reckless in southern Europe  Sorry Tony, but it's not a Gonia ... you were probably distracted by the wide vertex but the shape of the face just isn't right. Gonia spp. have very 'fat' faces, for want of a better word.  |
