It?s an image of a Tachinid fly that emerges from larva/pupae of the Cabbage White -
Pieris rapae - Could it be a
Compsilura concinnata ??

Together with the next picture, you seem to be quite right
Compsilura is relatively easy to rear, however, difficult to find in the field.

Theo, thanks for confirmation
Last autumn I collected five caterpillars from my broccoli, all parasitised with
Compsilura
