Very interesting ... not
Gymnosoma, not
Cistogaster, doesn't have dark wing patches so not
Ectophasia ... not
Elomyia lateralis ... but after all that I am not sure what it *is* :D

Maybe "itīs not", can a fly be wrong itself? I think that too many times :(
Thanks :)

Well, it is certainly a tachinid - so it is right-enough ;)

Looks like Hemyda obscuripennis.
The darkening of the wing is 'covered' by the flash

That's interesting ... the abdomen looked too round and bristly for me to think of a
Hemyda :)

Chris
i agree it is unusually bristly, if it is Hemyda. The number and length of bristles seem to be quite variable, I have just noticed in my collection. So it still might be correct.
And I don't have an alternative.
Dusting on thorax agrees perfectly well !

I agree, it does look odd and I couldn't think what else it might be :)

There is an alternative: Besseria lateritia, the Besseria with open topcel. However, the abdominal pattern does not agree.
If you could see more of the head....
