Maybe Tribe Eryciini?

Classic mistake: it belongs to Rhinophoridae.

Trichogena rubricosa.

(As explained previously, I refuse to adapt Rondani's monstrous misspellings)

well that's surprising - when catching it, I thought 'probably just another Trichogena rubricosa', but I somehow never noticed the yellow patches on the abdomen before in that species, so seeing it under the microscope I was instantly convinced it had to be a Tachinid
