When i saw the photo at first, i was thinking at Fanniidae, but it has hairs on the meron and M1 is upcurved,.....so, is it Tachinidae or....

If no postscutellum, I can suggest you to search around Eggisops pecchiollii ( an weird idea).

Yes, I think to a Calliphorid in Melanomyiinae because of the resemblance with female Melanomyia /Morinia, but I no longer think at Eggisops, maybe Angioneura ?
Could it be ?

I have looked at some Callip / Tachi...for the postscutellum, but a little difficult to see...looks more like Calliphoridae.

It certainly doesn't look like any tachinid I have seen ... but that's not a good guide ... if it has a subscutellum then it becomes very interesting Smile

The subscutellum should be a small, smoothly-rounded bulge under the scutellum. Don't be confused by the way that the thorax on all flies protrudes to where the abdomen attaches.

I took some photos that you might find useful here Smile

It is really something special.
I understand the suggestion of Angioneura.

I see relatively strong apical scutellar bristles, so I'm still in doubt.
I would really need to check the postscutellum myself.

Joke, would it be possible to send the specimen ?
If so, send me a PM for address

So I'd like to nominate Stephane for the best ID of the year,
I've seen the specimen just now and it is indeed, a female of Angioneura acerba.

Great find and great pictures, please submit to gallery

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
