Hi

I took this photo on 25th September above leaf of Citrus naranjus. Tachinidae fly?

I do not think this head belongs to a Tachinid fly, rather Calliphoridae or Muscidae. Do you have another photo of the same individual from a different angle?

no. just this one. The fly had a very bluish metalic body. SO Perhaps Calliphoridae fly?

The arista is hairy, so my bets are on Calliphoridae / Muscidae
