I would guess Tachinidae, but it would be best to wait for a tachinid expert to confirm that!

I was thinking Tachinidae or Sarcophagidae. Sarcophagidae because of the weak acrostichal bristles. Usually at least two pairs are strong in Tachinidae. A few groups of Tachinidae, including many Dexiinae, have three pairs of scutellar bristles with apical pair long and crossed. |

I see it's not easy precisely, but in this case a possible Tachinidae or Sarcophagidae is good enough for me. Thank you to both of you. |
