yep. Tachinidae. :)
It resembles a little, Leskia.. but the black vittae on scutum, and much more bristles, and the more pale orange (in relation to the Leskia) take off this idea ... I'm just trying. ;) My test, as Nikita says. :)

Thank you, Jorge :)
What characteristics do you see to recognize it as a Tachinidae?

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I don't know if more people didn't reply because they don't know the ID of the fly or if they didn't notice the thread.

Well, in this photo it is a bit difficult to see why it is a tachinid but in general it has very strong bristles on the body and a bend in vein-m ... and it isn't one of the other families with strong bristles and a bend in vein-m (eg. Sarcophagidae or Rhinophoridae) :)
