The Rhinophoridae are very closely related to Tachinidae and look superficially very similar. They even have a subscutellum, though this subscutellum is usually partially membraneous. But when you have a long petiole AND bristly body it is likely to be a rhinophorid but there are other more subtle features that usually can't be seen on photographs. B)
