Looks like Mintho rufiventris  (Note: the laterally compressed abdomen with red side patches plus 2 broad dark stripes at the front of the thorax) |

Thanks! It seems right! I wonder why so many dipterans from different fammilies have those thorax stripes (Muscidae, Sarcophagidae, Tachinidae...)? |
