Hello,
it is not short. I can see it only very faint, but it is there.

Several unrelated groups of Tachinidae have vein M faint to absent beyond the bend. In all cases I know of the bend would be quite obtuse if present, based on the faint fold or its position in related species.
Missing tip of vein M is more common in subfamily Tachininae. Since this looks like Siphonini I would start by considering
Actia.

Thanks John from thorough knowledge.
I dare put Actia sp.

And on our planet, there is only one such Actia: Actia lamia.
And that is what it is.
