Thank you, Chris
Could be also Tachina ursina?

It could be Tachina ursina if it has a light band on the anterior of abdomenal segment 5 but I can't see that in the photos so I am assuming T.lurida - also it has strong, crossed apical scutellar bristles as a confirmatory character for T.lurida :)

In the UK I have found both T.ursina and T.lurida at this time of year but lurida seems to be less common here.

I agree with Chris
But it looks quite like ursina at first glance (nearly fooled me)
