Many thanks to both of you! So the strong facial bristles recall some Tachinidae indeed (which softens my error!), and we have a Metopia male without silvery frons. Nevertheless it's a male because males of this species have a fringe of long posterior hairs on the front tarsi. Obviously that's the reason for its name Fringe-Footed Satellite Fly, as I learn from https://www.flick...773211276/. Another interesting species to be kept in mind!
