Is it possible to tell the family of the fly pupa?

The pupa was collected on Ficus variolosa where there were some Perina nuda caterpillars around.

I would say most likely Tachinidae - the configuration of the posterior spiracles is very like Exorista (see Fig. 738 in Smith, KGV, 1989) available at https://www.royen...res-index/
