Another fly that is slightly similar to the ones posted in the last thread.

It's a tachinid that looks very like a sarcophagid, so my guess (and it's only a guess) is Phorocera obscura Wink

So this is also P. obscura. Somehow I missed that it can have orange in the abdomen.

Thx for both of you.

Well, the orange puzzled me as well.
There seems to be only 3+3 dorsocentral bristles.
If this would be 3+4 after all (it is difficult to see), than this is Parasetigena silvestris. Which is more likely with the orange on the tergites.
On the other hand: is the orange real or an artefact of the flash, maybe ?

The orange is real. And I think that this was a larger fly than the Ph. obscura posted in previous threads. The quality of these images is higher, which points to the fact that this fly was much larger than P. obscura, where the quality of the images is lower.

Also even though P. obscura is very common I never managed to get more than one shot of this fly, because it tends to be more nervous with the camera, and flies off between taking photos from different angles. (Usaually they fly away before even the first shot is made.)

OK, I reconsider: I misjudged the DC and given the new information, I'm quite confident it is Parasetigena silvestris.
