Tachina sp. perhaps magnicornis?
not an expert, though, in tachinids.

I'm guessing Peleteria - but let's wait for Theo ;)

I see ocellar bristles, so it can't be Peleteria.
And legs and antennae are all black, which excludes Tachina.

So we're left with Nowickia.

A weird one, though.

Thank you all and thank you Theo for telling me the characters that exclude the other genera.
