A female of the Milichia speciosa group. Did you collect it?

No, it is not. Cacoxenus indagator has whitish halters and this specimen has black ones. Moreover, there are several strong vibirssa like setae (not in Cacoxenus) and only two strong orbital setae are visble (rather than three as in Drosophilidae). I received the specomen and it is very likely a female of Milichia pubescens.

I agree with Paul that this is a Milichia female. I can't tell which species.
