This looks like a Tachinid. Any further help?

A Tachinid it is !

Wing venation suggests Exorista.

I put this down as Unidentified Exoristini.

There are 16 species listed as Exoristini, 8 of them Exorista in the database. The fly is possibly E. japonica, but the species are supposed to be very similar to each other.
