Dear all, this Tachinidae we found in La Paz on 13.10.2019 at an elevation of roughly 3800m. Thanks for the help. Best Alex AliWi attached the following image:  [260.95Kb] |

I can't tell from this angle. There are a lot of bristly Tachinidae in the mountains of South America, mostly in subfamily Tachininae. The bristled sternites may be a clue. If the tergites have bristles next to sternites consider Hystricia but these bristles appear to be on the sternites. |

It turns out many South American Tachinini have spiny sternites, and your fly is likely in that tribe. |
